Chile-Butter Chicken With Vinegared Potatoes image

A deceptively simple sheet-pan dinner, potatoes get tossed with tangy distilled white vinegar and topped with a chicken slathered in a garlicky chile butter (while you're at it, let the potatoes have some, too). From there, you pop it into a 425-degree oven and let it do its thing. The result is a juicy, golden-brown chicken with slight heat from the chile and a touch of smoke from paprika, alongside potatoes that are equal parts tender and crisp. Less, you'll see, really can be more.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, or 3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 5), scrubbed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup cilantro or parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add red-pepper flakes, paprika and garlic and swirl to combine. Let sizzle a minute or 2 to really infuse the butter, and remove from heat.
  • Scatter potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, toss with vinegar, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
  • Place chicken on top of potatoes, breast side up, and drizzle with the chile butter, drizzling any extra butter onto the potatoes. Using your hands or a spatula, give the potatoes a little toss to get that butter evenly distributed.
  • Place in oven and roast until chicken and potatoes are deeply golden brown, and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes for a whole chicken, 40 to 45 minutes for parts.
  • Remove from oven and let chicken rest on potatoes for a few minutes so the juices mingle with the potatoes. Carve the chicken (or slice the pieces) and transfer to a large plate or platter along with potatoes. Scatter with herbs and scallions before serving.
