How to make it

Marinate the Chicken:

2. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl and pour the kefir marinade over it.
4. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

Roast the Chicken:

1. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
4. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
5. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
