Another day, another cool recipe! Today I’m presenting you a dish that we cook a lot for family meetings here in France, our famous roasted chicken recipe with fried potatoes. Each family has its own recipe but today let me introduce you to mine. I hope you’re ready because it’s going to be a bit of work, but it’s worth it, believe me!
