Chicken – This recipe uses chicken leg quarters, which include the drumstick and the thigh.
Potatoes – medium potatoes cut in quartersm or baby potatoes cut in half. You can select red or yellow potatoes.
Olive oil – Or any light, neutral-flavored oil.
Lemon Juice – Since I use fresh lemon in other parts of the recipe, I grab an extra one and use fresh-squeezed lemon juice. You could use bottled lemon juice in a pinch.
Italian Seasoning – This spice blend contains basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, sage, and coriander.
Smoked Paprika – Smoked paprika gives the meat a smoky flavor, but you can use regular sweet paprika.
Lemon Zest – This recipe calls for the zest of half a lemon.
Garlic Powder – Adds a warm, earthy flavor.
Salt and pepper – The perfect all-purpose seasonings.
