Tips for Success
• Ensure you dry the chicken pieces thoroughly with paper towels before seasoning and roasting. This helps achieve a crispy skin by removing excess moisture.
• For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken pieces in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and a splash of white wine for at least 1 hour (or overnight) before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Avoid overcrowding the roasting pan with vegetables and chicken, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting. Make sure there’s enough space for air to circulate, which will help achieve a nice caramelization on both the chicken and veggies.
