1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place chicken, breast side up, on a baking sheet. Rub with 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Place parsley and 1 lemon half in cavity. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Toss potatoes and 2 tablespoons oil. Drizzle with juice from remaining lemon half. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter potatoes along chicken.

Rotate pan, toss potatoes, and cook until potatoes and chicken are golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken’s thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes more.

Great Post! As a recipe blogger myself always trying to give people new way’s to cook chicken since it’s known to be one of the boring foods ; ) By the way Quinoa is amazing and if you cook it in low sodium chicken broth instead of water it’s even better! Thanks for sharing.
