Wrap in foil and cook for all but the last 30 mins at 180. Open the foil and cook at max temp for the last 30 mins. Then rest. That way the oven is hot ready for the potatoes and the chicken will be cooked and rested by the time they are done. Works every time.
Also might be an idea to get yourself an oven thermometer, most ovens will not be up to temperature at all or even reach the temp you've set it to.
My ovens are only 6 months old and the oven states its up to temperature but according to the thermometer it still has another 50 degrees to go before it reaches it.Comment

As for spuds, I still haven't found a type here that will roast crispy on the outside.Comment

Oh yeah, on roasting cloggy spuds; it helps if you first quickly fry the floured spuds in the mix-up of fats you've got in a shallow frying pan; not long, just a quick 'flash fry' to get the crust started, then chuck them in the oven. I know none of this is optimal, but after 20 years of experimenting with Dutch produce to try and make the food I like, I've learned to live with a few of these tricks. The key is; don't be too purist about cooking here; do what's necessary to get the result.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

I did find a type that went crispy once, the downside is Albert Heijn or any other supermarket for that matter have no consistency whatsoever in what they stock.
I use a mix of duck fat and whatever else is left over from the last roast, par boil the spuds, then rough them up to break up the outside, and place them in the pre-heated fat.Comment
