Preparation
Step 1
How do you cook chicken in a covered roaster? Prepare the ingredients. I usually divide the chicken into 3 parts: the back for broth, the breast fillet for cutlets or minced meat, and the drumsticks, thighs, and wings for the oven. These parts are ideal for baking - thanks to the skin they stay juicy inside and brown on the outside.
Step 2
Transfer the chicken pieces to a suitable bowl. Salt and pepper the chicken.
Step 3
Add khmeli-suneli (a Georgian spice blend) or other spices to taste.
Step 4
Press the garlic through a garlic press.
Step 5
Add a little vegetable oil so the spices release their aroma better.
Step 6
Mix everything well and leave it while you prepare the vegetables. During this time the meat will marinate slightly.
Step 7
Prepare the ingredients for the next stage. Wash and peel the potatoes and onion.
Step 8
Cut the potatoes as you like; I cut them into cubes.
Step 9
Transfer the potatoes to the covered roaster.
Step 10
Slice the onion into quarter-rings.
Step 11
Add the onion to the potatoes in the roaster.
Step 12
Add salt.
Step 13
For the sauce, mix sour cream (full-fat is best) and ketchup (or tomato paste).
Step 14
Pour the sauce over the potatoes.
Step 15
Mix well.
Step 16
Arrange the chicken pieces on top.
Step 17
Add a little water, cover with the lid, and bake at 200-220°C (392-428°F) for 30 minutes. Then reduce to 180°C (356°F) and cook for another 40 minutes. Adjust to your oven and check for doneness occasionally.
Step 18
15 minutes before it’s done, take the roaster out, remove the lid, and finish baking uncovered so the chicken browns.
Step 19
After those 15 minutes, remove from the oven - the dish is ready!
Step 20
Enjoy!
