Ingredients

  • SERVES 4
  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts (about 3 pounds total), patted dry with paper towels
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 4 small sprigs rosemary broken into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil the best you have

Instructions

  • Rub the chicken breasts all over with the salt and pepper. Let rest while the oven preheats to 450°F.
  • Lay the lemon slices and rosemary all over the bottom of a roasting pan and place the chicken on top, leaving space in between the breasts so they have room to crisp up. Drizzle generously with the oil.
  • Roast until the breasts are golden and done through and through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot with the pan juices spooned all over the flesh.
