- Bake in the preheated about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.

Notes:
The original recipe calls for 6 Yukon gold potatoes and 6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs. Also the recipe calls for much more garlic cloves.
