Roasted Chicken Plate with Veggies and Potatoes

Serving Suggestions

• Family-Style Feast: Lay everything on a large wooden board for a communal vibe—let everyone help themselves!
• Light Lunch Upgrade: Serve half the portion alongside a crisp arugula salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
• Meal Prep Magic: Portion into containers for grab-and-go lunches; keep sauce separate until ready to eat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Skipping the Skin Drying: Wet skin steams instead of crisps; always pat chicken dry before seasoning.
2. Overcrowding the Pan: Crowded ingredients steam—leave space for hot air to circulate.
3. Uneven Potato Sizes: Large potato pieces take longer to cook; cut them uniformly for consistent roasting.
4. Forgetting to Rest: Let chicken rest 5 minutes after roasting—juices redistribute and you avoid dry meat.

Storing Tips

• Refrigerate Leftovers: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Freeze chicken and potatoes separately in freezer bags for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes to revive crispiness.
