Sanyet batates-Egyptian Chicken thighs & Potato casserole

Sanyet batates-Egyptian Chicken thighs & Potato casserole is one of the most beautiful dishes that you can eat, especially if you are in a hurry and want to prepare a quick and beautiful lunch.

In the Arab countries, this dish is served with white rice, but in fact, it is a complete dish.

I personally do not eat anything else with it because it tastes delicious and also gives a feeling of satiety.

In the recipe that I will present to you, I used chicken thighs because they are tastier and softer, and this makes the seasoning well permeate inside.

Sanyet batates-Egyptian Chicken thighs & Potato Marinade Notes.

When using the seasoning, it is preferable to leave part of it in order to put it on the chicken before entering the oven.

Farfa sticks, rosemary, and thyme are optional, but they give an authentic oriental Arabic flavor.

Do not use garlic powder at all because it will change the taste.

If you are a fan of onions, you can add the quantity.

if you have time you can soak the chicken in the marinade for three or 4 hours to have the excellent taste but if you don’t have it’s OK.

Sanyet batates-Egyptian Chicken thighs & Potato Cocking Notes.

Always make sure the oven is hot before placing the chicken in it.

Start with the bottom shelf, then the middle.

Do not cook the casserole with the oven and grill together when using the grill, the most expensive oven fire.
