Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken quartered
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 3–4 cloves garlic smashed
  • ½ lemon
  • ¼ cup chicken broth


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Pat the chicken dry and place it in a baking dish or on a sheet pan.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and olive oil. Rub it over all sides of the chicken.
  4. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Season the chicken evenly.
  5. Place the smashed garlic around the chicken and squeeze the lemon over the top. Set the lemon halves in the pan.
  6. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
  7. Arrange the chicken skin-side up, leaving space between each piece.
  8. Roast for 45–55 minutes, or until the skin is golden and the internal temperature near the bone reaches at least 165°F.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the pan for a one-pan meal.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
