Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large wedges.
  2. Crush the garlic with the salt and turmeric, then mix with the oil and the juice of one lemon.
  3. In a large baking dish, arrange the chicken thighs and potatoes, then spoon over the marinade.
  4. Add the sliced onion and hot stock around them, without pouring it over the skin.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil, sprinkle with paprika and continue cooking for 20 minutes until the potatoes are golden and the chicken is well cooked.
  7. Squeeze over the juice of the second lemon before serving.
