Rosemary Paprika Chicken And Fries Food

CRISPY ROSEMARY CHICKEN AND FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place chicken and potatoes into a large bowl. Pour olive oil over them, and stir to coat. Scatter the chicken and potato pieces in a large baking dish, or cookie sheet with sides. Sprinkle with rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, uncovered. Baste during the last 15 minutes for extra crispness.

CHICKEN AND FRIES

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the salt, sugar, garlic powder onion powder, paprika, pepper and turmeric. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seasoning for the fries. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Liberally sprinkle some of the remaining seasoning inside the chicken. Brush the outside of the chicken with the melted butter and sprinkle with the rest of the remaining seasoning, Roast the chicken until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.
• For the fries: Heat the oil in a deep heavy pot over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, slice your russets into fries about a 1/4-inch thick, skin on. When the oil is ready, add a third of the fries and stir once with some tongs just to make sure they don't clump together. Cook until a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cook the remaining fries in batches. Set aside on a tray lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with the reserved chicken seasoning.
• Serve the chicken with the fries.

ROSEMARY-PAPRIKA CHICKEN AND FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and place a sheet pan on the oven's lowest rack to heat. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer half of the mayonnaise mixture (about ¼ cup) to a medium bowl. Stir in the smoked paprika, rosemary, red-pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Season the chicken all over with 1½ teaspoons salt. Add the chicken to the bowl of paprika-mayonnaise, and rub it all over the chicken. Set aside.
• Halve the potato crosswise (no need to peel), then cut it into ¼-inch-thick fries. Right on the cutting board, drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Place the chicken breasts skin side down on the heated sheet pan, then scatter the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer. Roast on the bottom rack for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken so the skin side is up. (No need to turn the potatoes.) Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the fries are browned underneath and the chicken registers 155 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted in the thickest part. (The temperature will rise as the meat rests.) Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes, then cut the chicken meat from the bones and slice. Stir the lemon juice into the remaining mayonnaise mixture. Eat the chicken with the fries and a puddle of the lemon-garlic mayo for dipping.
