Steps

Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with half the oil and half the seasoning on a sheet pan. Roast 15 minutes.

Toss the chicken with the remaining oil, salt, pepper and paprika.

Push the potatoes to the sides, add the chicken, and roast 18 to 20 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 175°F inside and the potatoes are golden.

Stir the garlic into the melted butter. Pour it over the pan and toss.

Finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
