Peasant food. Pollo e Patate. A bed of potatoes and onions tossed in olive oil and salt and pepper with chicken on top all roasted until the chicken juices cook the potatoes.

I don't make this for the chicken. I make it for the potatoes with all that chicken juice tastiness. Though the crispy chicken skin is pretty good too.

I grew up on a variant of this where it's served on a bed of spaghetti and peas are added to the potatoes in the last few minutes. A double starch feast.

Cost: $1.87 per person.

Molly baz has a great gochijang version of this.

I've made it. It's easy, one pan, and comes out of the oven like a dream. The potatoes have that great chicken fat flavor, but also the funky, savory heat of the gochijang.

That does seem tasty.

Aproveche!

I have done this too, it's so good, I put olives in it.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ooh. That sounds good. A little brine and acid to balance things. Sometimes I add parmesan on top.

Enjoy, peasant! JK

It was either this or, for the same price, a bean burrito from Taco Bell. I love those things but peasant food is good too.

If you put nice rub on the chicken and rosemary with the potatoes it gets even better, it is a classic no recipe, everyday food that everyone loves

Oh man. Chicken cooked on top of potatoes is the move. All that flavor and fat going into the potatoes.. Mmmmm.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's all about the chicken juice potatoes.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Chicken juice rice is also very good, especially when there is a good bit of chicken fat and gelatin.
