The first time I made this, I saw the recipe on Facebook and thought why not? It is now a family favorite that gets requested often! When seasoning the chicken and potatoes I let them sit in the fridge with the seasonings and oil for a few hours atleast and it has a noticeable difference in the intensity of flavor! Also, I use red potatoes instead of russet. Either way is good, but I prefer with red.
