Crispy Rosemary Chicken And Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a large rimmed baking pan inside.
• Put the olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until just starting to bubble. Turn off the heat and let steep 20 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprigs and garlic.
• While the oil is steeping, cut the potatoes into 1-inch-thick wedges. Put the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the oil, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and spread the potatoes on the hot pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with another pinch of salt and roast until the undersides are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and continue to cook until golden brown all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Serve garnished with a rosemary sprig.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and place a sheet pan on the oven's lowest rack to heat. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer half of the mayonnaise mixture (about ¼ cup) to a medium bowl. Stir in the smoked paprika, rosemary, red-pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Season the chicken all over with 1½ teaspoons salt. Add the chicken to the bowl of paprika-mayonnaise, and rub it all over the chicken. Set aside.
• Halve the potato crosswise (no need to peel), then cut it into ¼-inch-thick fries. Right on the cutting board, drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Place the chicken breasts skin side down on the heated sheet pan, then scatter the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer. Roast on the bottom rack for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken so the skin side is up. (No need to turn the potatoes.) Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the fries are browned underneath and the chicken registers 155 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted in the thickest part. (The temperature will rise as the meat rests.) Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes, then cut the chicken meat from the bones and slice. Stir the lemon juice into the remaining mayonnaise mixture. Eat the chicken with the fries and a puddle of the lemon-garlic mayo for dipping.
