Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
    Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Step 2: Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    Add chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Potatoes

    In a separate bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Arrange on the Sheet Pan

    Place chicken on one side of the sheet pan.
    Spread potatoes around the chicken in a single layer.
    Arrange lemon slices throughout the pan.
  5. Step 5: Bake

    Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender.
    For extra crispy skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
    Serve immediately.
