Peasant food. Pollo e Patate. A bed of potatoes and onions tossed in olive oil and salt and pepper with chicken on top all roasted until the chicken juices cook the potatoes.
I don't make this for the chicken. I make it for the potatoes with all that chicken juice tastiness. Though the crispy chicken skin is pretty good too.
I grew up on a variant of this where it's served on a bed of spaghetti and peas are added to the potatoes in the last few minutes. A double starch feast.
Cost: $1.87 per person.

Molly baz has a great gochijang version of this.
I've made it. It's easy, one pan, and comes out of the oven like a dream. The potatoes have that great chicken fat flavor, but also the funky, savory heat of the gochijang.

Aproveche!
I have done this too, it's so good, I put olives in it.

Ooh. That sounds good. A little brine and acid to balance things. Sometimes I add parmesan on top.

If you put nice rub on the chicken and rosemary with the potatoes it gets even better, it is a classic no recipe, everyday food that everyone loves

It was either this or, for the same price, a bean burrito from Taco Bell. I love those things but peasant food is good too.
