After the bird is ready, you can turn on the oven to heat up (up to 180 degrees) and in the meantime start cooking potatoes. Peel the tubers and cut them with medium-thick plates, chop the onion rings. Now, first place the vegetables on the baking sheet, on top - the chicken, add about a glass of water - so the potatoes will not dry, but, on the contrary, will become even juicier, and send to cook for one hour.

- 2 onions, which can be added as desired;
- mayonnaise and spices for marinade.
This recipe for baked chicken and potatoes is somewhat similar to the previous one. First, you need to pickle the bird with a mixture of mayonnaise or sour cream, spices and chopped garlic. Leave the meat to lie for 1 hour or more, after which it can be cooked. Peel the potato tubers, although if you are using a young vegetable, you can just rinse it thoroughly with running water and a brush, and do not remove the peel afterwards. Now the most important thing: put the potatoes and chopped onions separately on a baking sheet, put on the second shelf in a preheated oven (up to 180-200 degrees), and on the grid, put the bird. Then the juice will drain directly into the vegetables, making them soft and not over-dried. Or you can start cooking with chicken, put it on a baking sheet and send to bake for 20 minutes, then take out the form, add vegetables to it, pour a glass of water or liquid, not too concentrated broth, and finish cooking - after 40 minutes, the dish can be served.
