    Note

    During this stage, the chicken releases its juices and the potatoes slowly cook in the lemon, mustard & garlic aroma.

  8. Step 8Remove foil and toss

    Carefully remove the foil. If there is extra liquid, leave it – it will reduce naturally. Gently toss the potatoes in the juices. Keep the chicken skin side up.
