Cook's Notes
-
💡
For extra crispy skin, pat chicken dry and don't cover it—moisture prevents browning. The high oven heat creates the best crust.
-
💡
Don't crowd the pan. Arrange vegetables in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
-
💡
Make ahead: Prep the lemon garlic marinade and chop vegetables up to 8 hours ahead. Assemble and roast when ready to eat.
