For the Chicken and Veggies:

  • 3 Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Quarters
  • 5 Yellow Potatoes, quartered
  • 6 Jumbo Asparagus, quartered
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Butter
  • 1/2 Lemon, sliced
  • Chopped Parsley (for garnish)

For the Marinade:

  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Lemon, juiced
  • 3 tbsp. Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. Dried Oregano
  • 2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp. Complete Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. Smoked Paprika (optional)

For the Veggie Seasoning:

  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Complete seasoning
  • 1 tsp. Onion Powder

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chicken broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, Complete Seasoning, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Set aside.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken quarters in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Season the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered potatoes and asparagus with olive oil, salt, Complete seasoning, and onion powder. Set aside.
  4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Arrange the marinated chicken quarters in the baking dish, skin-side up. Scatter the seasoned vegetables around the chicken. Place lemon slices on top of the chicken and dot each piece with a small amount of butter.
  6. Roast to Perfection: Bake the chicken and vegetables for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender. If desired, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to achieve crispy, golden-brown skin.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
