Scale
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
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.
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.
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.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
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.
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.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
