Baked chicken with potatoes in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The chicken baked in the oven turns out even better than fried or stewed. And paired with potatoes, it's simply delicious! You can use chicken drumsticks or thighs—they work perfectly. Just try to keep the chicken pieces small, otherwise they might not cook through properly. I don't recommend replacing sour cream with mayonnaise—it will only create a crust on the chicken without properly soaking into it. Serve hot.

Step 1
Grease the baking dish with oil or fat. Apply generously, as the potatoes will absorb a lot of oil.

Step 2
Peel the potatoes and onion. Slice the potatoes into thin slices. Try to make them of uniform thickness so that they cook evenly.

Cut the onion into cubes and season with salt. Then place the vegetables into a baking dish. Put a layer of potatoes at the bottom, then alternate layers with onion. Pour half of the sour cream over the potatoes and onions.

Step 4
Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Then cut it into pieces (I don't even cut the legs). Place them on top of the potatoes. I recommend seasoning the chicken with spices—it will make the dish more flavorful and aromatic. Coat the chicken with the remaining sour cream.
