Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it evenly. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Roasted Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are large.

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and rosemary until well coated.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Roast the Chicken and Potatoes

    Place the chicken halves skin-side up on a baking sheet along with the seasoned potatoes. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the crispy half chicken with the roasted potatoes on the side.
