SMOKY SHEET PAN CHICKEN WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables (or marinate in the fridge for up to 1 day).
• Assemble the chicken and vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a half sheet pan or 2 quarter sheet pants with foil and coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Peel the potatoes if you wish and cut into approximately 3/4-inch chunks. Cut the cauliflower into about 1-inch florets. Cut the onion half into eight thin wedges. Spread the vegetables on the prepared sheet pan and, using your hands, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the thyme, and plenty of salt and pepper. Scatter the olives over the vegetables and the chorizo, if using.
• Make spaces throughout the pan of vegetables and add the chicken pieces, skin-side up.
• Bake for 30 minutes, at which point check the tray and toss the potatoes and cauliflower to ensure they're cooking evenly, then return to the oven to bake for another 10 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through
• To finish: Toss the pepper strips together with the vinegar, salt, and sugar, and set aside to marinate until needed.
• When the chicken and vegetables are ready, top with the pepper strips and chopped parsley.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place chicken on a large plate and season generously with salt and pepper; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss carrots, shallots, potatoes, and lemon with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a large roasting pan, with shallots in center and carrots, potatoes, and lemon toward edges.
• Rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, tie legs with twine, and nestle in center. Roast, flipping vegetables around edges once, until chicken is golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemon halves to a carving board and tent loosely with foil. Flip vegetables; return to oven and roast until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. Carve chicken and transfer to a platter or return to roasting pan. Sprinkle with parsley, squeeze lemon over top, and serve with vegetables.
