Lemon Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, thyme, paprika, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Add the chicken, potatoes, and onions to a large bowl. Pour the lemon spice mixture, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss thoroughly to combine.

Step 4

Arrange the chicken skin side up, potatoes, and onions on the prepared baking pan. I like to lightly season everything with salt and pepper once arranged on the pan to ensure it is seasoned well before going in the oven.

Step 5

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake, covered, for 40 minutes.

Step 6

Uncover, toss the potatoes around and spoon some of pan juices over the chicken. Top with lemon slices, and continue baking, uncovered, for additional 25-30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
