How to Make Bacon Roasted Chicken With Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wrap each chicken thigh and drumstick (about 6-8 pieces) in a slice of bacon, ensuring as much chicken as possible is covered.
  3. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken pieces in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Peel and roughly chop 1.5 lbs of potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes recommended). Push the potatoes down into the spaces between the chicken pieces and around the edges of the dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and golden brown, and the potatoes are tender. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Sprinkle with extra salt, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
