  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Coat the potato slices with 2 tbsp olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, then place them in a baking dish. In a bowl, mix the spices, garlic powder, thyme, and more salt with another 2 tbsp olive oil. Rub the chicken legs with this mixture, then place them on top of the potatoes. Bake for about 50 minutes, uncovered.

  2. 2

    In the meantime, in another bowl, mix together the mashed garlic, lemon juice, a bit of salt, and a drizzle of water, then set aside. Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked and golden, pour this garlicky mixture over them and bake for another 10 minutes.
