Over the course of 24 hours, it’s like we drove cross country without ever leaving our ‘hood. The skies did a 180 and decided to gift us with actual spring overnight. After a few days of gorgeous, the snow has finally melted off. Crossing our fingers that it’s for reals this time.

Ingredients

2 ½ to 3 lbs whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 ½ lb small red potatoes, cut into quarters

Seasoning Mixture:

Juice of 2 large lemons
Zest of 1 lemon
12 cloves garlic, minced
⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 TB fresh oregano, chopped
2 TB fresh thyme leaves
2 TB fresh rosemary, chopped
3 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Optional: slices of lemon for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F with rack on middle position. Generously grease a large rimmed sheet pan; set aside.
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry chicken pieces to remove all excess moisture (this ensures that seasoning will adhere to chicken and also allow for much better roasting results.) Set aside.
Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a bowl, combine all seasoning mixture ingredients and mix well to combine. Divide mixture in half.
Rub half of the seasoning mixture onto chicken pieces; ensure that much of the mixture is spread evenly under the skin. Place chicken pieces skin-side-up onto greased sheet pan.
Mix remaining half of the seasoning mixture with potatoes, ensuring even coating. Place potatoes evenly around chicken on the sheet pan. Use rubber spatula to transfer any leftover seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Roast chicken and potatoes for 60-75 minutes, or just until chicken and potatoes are nicely browned and crispy on top. Serve with sauce drippings and lemon wedges, if desired.
