Notes

  • Room temperature chicken: Let the chicken sit out for 15–20 minutes before roasting to ensure even cooking.
  • Pan juices: Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and potatoes before serving for extra flavor.
  • Prep the chicken in the morning, so when you come home later in the day, all you have to do is pop it in the oven - easy peasy!
