🥔🍗 Grandpa’s 3-Ingredient Savory Chicken & Potatoes
Ingredients
4–6 chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
4–5 large potatoes (peeled and chunked)
1 packet onion soup mix (or any dry savory seasoning mix)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prep the potatoes
Cut them into chunks and spread them evenly in a baking dish.
Add the chicken
Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
Season everything
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
(No extra salt needed—the mix is already seasoned.)
Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake another 20–30 minutes until:
Chicken is golden and tender
Potatoes are soft and soaked in flavor
Why it’s so good
The chicken juices drip into the potatoes 🤤
The seasoning creates a rich, savory gravy
It’s hearty, cheap, and perfect for tough times
Optional (if you want to upgrade it)
Add a little garlic or paprika
Toss in carrots or onions
Drizzle a bit of olive oil for crispier potatoes
