Outstanding potatoes, average chicken. I used two cups of broth, but there still wasn't any left to drain for basting, so I used a bit of butter, then when the chicken had made its juices I used those. I did add a sprinkling of paprika over the chicken, for color. It made a beautiful presentation, and the potatoes did keep their shape.
