Special Persian Roasted Chicken

Prepare the sauce by mixing garlic, onion, chili pepper, tomato, bell pepper, olive oil, tomato paste, pomegranate paste, and walnuts, blending if desired for smoothness.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the marinated chicken and potatoes in a roasting pan.

Roast in the oven until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, typically 45 to 60 minutes depending on size.

Remove from oven and let rest before serving with the sauce.
