Instructions

  1. Season the chicken vigorously with pepper and salt and place in the oven`s drip pan. Squeeze the lemons (max. 1/4 l), mix with salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl, add the squeezed garlic, then add the same amount of olive oil. Place the peeled potatoes in the marinade, turn occasionally, leave to stand for approx. 20 minutes. Peel the onions, cut into eighths and place them with the potatoes between the chicken.

  3. Put the tray in the cold oven, heat it to 200 ° C and bake everything for about 1 1/2 hours until the potatoes are cooked.

  5. In addition: possibly sheep cheese, which is added about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time (just needs to be warm)

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
