🍽️ Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Marinade:
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano/thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Season Chicken:
Add chicken pieces to the bowl and coat well in the marinade. Let sit for 15–30 minutes if possible.
4. Toss Potatoes:
Add chopped potatoes to the same bowl or a separate one, toss with a bit more olive oil and the remaining marinade.
5. Arrange in Pan:
Place chicken skin-side up on a large baking dish or sheet pan. Surround with potatoes and garlic cloves. Tuck in rosemary sprigs. Drizzle melted butter over the top (if using).
6. Roast:
Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until chicken is golden and cooked to 165°F (74°C) internally, and potatoes are crispy-tender.
7. Optional Broil:
For crispier skin, broil for 3–5 minutes at the end.
8. Rest & Serve:
Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Spoon juices over for extra flavor.
✔️ Tips for Success:
- Pat chicken dry before marinating to ensure crisp skin.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; space between pieces ensures roasting, not steaming.
- Flip potatoes once halfway for even crispness.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
⭐ Recommendations:
- Serve with a side salad or steamed green beans.
- Add a quick yogurt-garlic dipping sauce or lemon aioli.
- Leftovers make excellent wraps or sandwiches.
