👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 专业技巧: Ensure oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 3 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried herbs, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
- 3
Add the potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and onion to the same bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables.
- 4
Arrange the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet.
💡 专业技巧: Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking and browning. - 5
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
- 6
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
💡 专业技巧: Baste the chicken and vegetables with pan juices halfway through this uncovered baking time for extra moisture and flavor. - 7
While the chicken and vegetables are baking, prepare the mujdei. In a mortar and pestle, pound the minced garlic with 1 tsp salt until a smooth paste forms.
💡 专业技巧: Alternatively, use a garlic press and mash the garlic with salt in a small bowl. - 8
Gradually whisk in the sunflower oil, a little at a time, until the mixture is emulsified and creamy. Then, whisk in the cold water or broth until the sauce reaches a pourable consistency.
💡 专业技巧: The cold water helps to lighten the sauce and create a smoother texture. - 9
Once the chicken and vegetables are done, let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- 10
Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables hot, with a generous dollop of mujdei on the side.
💡 专业技巧: Mujdei can also be drizzled over the chicken and vegetables.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓For extra crispy chicken skin, you can pat the chicken dry before seasoning.
- ✓Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or cauliflower.
- ✓If you prefer a richer mujdei, you can use a bit of sour cream mixed in, but traditional mujdei is oil-based.
- ✓The quality of garlic significantly impacts the flavor of mujdei.
