COOKING THE CHICKEN
4
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces liberally with salt and pepper.
5
Sauté the chicken, skin side down, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
6
Add the halved potatoes to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and pour off the oil.
7
Place the sprig of rosemary in the skillet, and then arrange the chicken pieces on top. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken.
8
Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for white meat and 175°F for dark meat.
9
Remove the chicken, potatoes, and rosemary from the pan. Set the skillet over medium heat.
10
Add the garlic, parsley, minced rosemary, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet, cooking briefly without burning the garlic.
11
Add the reduced chicken stock to the skillet and cook for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
12
Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet, stirring through the sauce to reheat for about 3-5 minutes.
13
Off heat, swirl in 2 Tbsp of unsalted butter to enrich the sauce.
