  • In a large bowl, toss potatoes with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Set aside until ready to roast in Step 3.

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with a drizzle of olive oil, 1 tsp herbes de Provence (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper(Save remaining herbes de Provence for another use.) TIP: See a feather? Simply grip the end using a paper towel and pull!
  • Place chicken, skin side up, on one side of a baking sheet. (For 4, arrange chicken across entire sheet.)
  • Roast on top rack for 15 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

3
  • Once chicken has roasted 15 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven and carefully add potatoes to empty side of sheet. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and add potatoes to a second baking sheet.)

  • Return to top rack and roast until chicken is browned and cooked through and potatoes are tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast potatoes on middle rack, swapping rack positions with chicken halfway through.) TIP: To ensure chicken is cooked through, insert a thermometer into the innermost part of the thigh and breast (avoiding any bones). Once chicken is cooked, the bones may still appear pink—this is OK!
