Turkish Style Oven Roasted Chicken with Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 whole chickens, total weight 6 pounds
• 5 tablespoons of plain yogurt
• 3 teaspoons of sea salt
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder
• 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of sumac powder
• 1 teaspoon of green cardamom powder

For Potatoes:

• 5 to 6 medium size potatoes cut like shown in the picture
• 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

Directions

Flatten the chicken by making a straight cut in the back and one deep cut on each chicken breast.

Mix all the spices with the yogurt and marinate chicken with it for at least 6 hours.

Cut potatoes as shown in the picture and mix the potatoes with all the spices including olive oil.

Place the chicken and potatoes in a baking dish.

Completely cover the dish with foil paper and cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Then loosen the foil paper, so the water from the chicken dries up for another hour.

Enjoy with salad and it is ready to serve!
