Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Olagud Probiotic Chicken approx. 1 kg, cut into 4 pieces or as desired
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 large onion thickly sliced
  • 150 grams mini potatoes halved
  • 100 grams carrots thinly sliced diagonally
  • Optional for enhanced aroma:
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon natural honey

Equipment

  • Large bowl for marinating
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven (or a lidded skillet)
  • Sharp kitchen knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Oven mitts (optional, but recommended)

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika powder, rosemary, garlic, and mustard (if using). Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly with the seasoning mixture. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour (ideally 4 hours to allow flavors to penetrate).
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  3. Roast with Vegetables: Arrange the marinated chicken on the baking sheet, then add the sliced onion, potatoes, and carrots. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Bake: Roast for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Flip the chicken every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a fresh salad or brown rice.

Notes

Oven Substitute: If an oven is unavailable, the chicken can be roasted in a covered skillet over low heat. This process will take slightly longer, approximately 1 hour.
Seasoning Variations: Add thyme or oregano for a more complex flavor profile. A pinch of cinnamon can also be included for a warm aroma.
Alternative Vegetables: Broccoli, green beans, or zucchini are also excellent accompanying vegetables.
Meal Prep: Store roasted chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for packed lunches or convenient dinners.
