YES! The marinade is SO flipping delicious, it’s a double carb kinda night! Even though the potatoes are caramelized and soaked in the mojo flavor, that juice at the bottom of the pan MUST go over some fluffy white rice!

🤔 Common Questions

Can I marinate this overnight?

Yes! Anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours works.

Can I use boneless chicken?

Yes, but reduce cook time slightly. Bone-in gives more flavor.

What if my potatoes aren’t done?

Remove the chicken and let the potatoes continue roasting.

Before you cook:

I’ve made a LOT of roast chicken and potatoes recipes… and here’s the truth: Yes, the chicken gets crispy and juicy… but it’s really all about the potatoes.

Because when those potatoes sit under that chicken and soak up all the citrus, garlic, olive oil, and chicken juices… it’s honestly next level.

That’s why I love using my go-to ingredients like Badia mojo marinade and Goya Sazón—they build flavor FAST. And also… don’t overthink the marinade time. I did 15 minutes. It was incredible.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

  • Slice potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate
  • Don’t skip the orange slices—they flavor everything underneath
  • Let some pulp fall into the marinade for extra flavor
  • Want crispy skin? Finish at 400°F or broil for a few minutes
  • If needed, remove chicken and let potatoes finish roasting
