Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
Vegetables
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes chopped into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion cut into chunks
  • 1 head garlic cloves separated and peeled
Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided
  • 2 lemons lemon one zested and juiced, the other thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Meat thermometer
  • large mixing bowl,

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped potatoes, onion chunks, and whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with half of the olive oil (2 tablespoons), half of the lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. In the same bowl, add chicken pieces, remaining olive oil, juice and zest of one lemon, and the remaining lemon pepper seasoning. Massage the seasoning into the chicken thoroughly, especially under the skin.
  4. Nestle the seasoned chicken among the potatoes on the baking sheet. Lay the thin lemon slices over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and skin is golden brown and crispy, and potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

For extra crispy skin, make sure to pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning. You can also add other vegetables like Brussels sprouts or asparagus with 15 minutes left in cooking time.
