Ray's Chicken (taken from allrecipes.com)
Hassleback Potatoes
(Serves 2)
8 new potatoes
1 TBSP butter or margarine
2 TSP oil
salt & pepper
Wash potatoes and cut with thin slices without cutting all the way through (see picture for how it will look). Heat pan on stove over medium heat. Melt butter and add oil to the pan and heat. Add potatoes and cook on all sides, about 15 minutes until they start to brown. Take out potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and put in a 350 oven for 40 mins.
Taste: 5/5 Both were great. I didn't try this, but the chicken would be a great leftover cut in strips on a salad.
Ease of preparation: 5/5 All you have to do is stir the ingredients together, marinade and if you don't have a grill, pour chicken and marinade in a casserole dish and bake at 350F for 40 mins.
Brit-rating: GREATed it. Chicken: "It's good but I'm not keen on those little twig things (rosemary)." Potatoes: "These are nice. Make them again soon."
Serve to guests: Absolutely! In fact, the potatoes are so easy yet look quite elegant if you are having a nice dinner party.

Looks fingerlicking! It would make a perfect weekend meal for me.
