After that, pour them with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and then cook for no more than 4 minutes. After this period, discard lightly cooked potatoes in a colander and let it cool. Put the cooled potatoes on a baking sheet and put in the oven on the lower level, and lay the pieces of chopped chicken on top of the grid. Excess juice and fat from meat will drain directly onto the potatoes during baking, thereby making the village-style potatoes in the oven truly tasty and aromatic. In addition, the spices in the meat give the potato a unique smell. We bake chicken and potatoes in the oven for about half an hour at a temperature of 200-220 degrees, until the fruits of the potato are covered with a golden crust. During this time, you can start preparing greens. Thoroughly wash the parsley, dill and onion and cut it at your discretion. It is advisable to cut onions into rings, and finely chop dill with parsley. Sprinkle the prepared mixture from herbs with spices and mix with potatoes. To pieces of chicken fried evenly, in the process of baking it is necessary to turn them a couple of times.
