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.
