Preheat the oven to 425. Place chicken and potatoes in a large baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Add garlic, other veggies of choice, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Increase heat to 475 and bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 175 (it's safe to eat at 165 but the leg meat is still chewy at that temperature.) The chicken skin should be crispy, but if for any reason it isn't - broil for just a few minutes.
NOTE: do not use chicken breast in this recipe as it will come out too dry.
