Ingredients for Walkin' Chicken Basket

Method

Directions for Walkin' Chicken Basket

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown color.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Yuca Fries

    While the chicken is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the yuca fries and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and pat dry.

  4. 4

    Fry the Yuca Fries

    In a frying pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the yuca fries until they are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the roasted chicken, yuca fries, and a generous serving of baked mac & cheese. Serve with a jar of sorrel jam or onion jam on the side.
