Fried chicken with potatoes is made by seasoning chicken pieces and frying them with cut potatoes, usually in separate batches. Cook the chicken until fully done and the potatoes until tender inside and golden outside, then serve them together while hot.
Black pepper, paprika, garlic, and thyme all work well with fried chicken with potatoes. Season the chicken before frying, and add salt to the potatoes as soon as they come out of the oil so it sticks to their surface.
Fry the potatoes and chicken separately for fried chicken with potatoes. This lets each cook for the right amount of time and prevents the potatoes from absorbing chicken juices and turning soft; keep the first batch warm while the second finishes.

Fried chicken with potatoes is a hearty main meal made by frying chicken pieces and potatoes. Depending on the recipe, they may cook together in a pan or be fried separately and served side by side; it is a familiar home-style combination rather than a dish tied to one specific cuisine.
Serve it hot, often with a fresh salad or vegetables to balance the crisp, savoury chicken and tender potatoes. It is filling and energy-dense, with 16.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use less oil or bake the chicken and potatoes, and add a generous portion of vegetables.
