Red Wine Roast Chicken

• 2/3 cup red wine
• 6 tbsp/100 g tomato paste
• 3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
• 3 sprigs marjoram, leaves picked, or 1/2 tsp dried
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces (about 31/2 lb/1.5 kg)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 18 oz/500 g baby potatoes, washed
• 3 onions, quartered
• 6 carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
• 1/2 cup water

1. Mix together the wine, tomato paste, thyme, marjoram, and vinegar. Season the chicken with plenty of salt and pepper, then place in a sealed ziplock bag with the wine mixture. Shake the bag to make sure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
2. Place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold water, cover, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander.
3. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Arrange the onions, carrots, and cooked potatoes in a large baking dish or tray and pour in the water.
4. Arrange the chicken pieces, skin-side up, in a layer on top of the vegetables in the dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover with a sheet of parchment or foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the parchment and baste the chicken with the cooking liquid. Roast, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, or until the skin is crisp. Serve immediately.
