Why this works

Chicken thighs provide complete protein and stay juicier than breast meat during long roasting. Potatoes add complex carbohydrates to replenish energy in the follicular phase, when the body tends to tolerate hearty meals well. Chicken also supports muscle maintenance through its complete protein.
