Do not wash the chicken before cooking.

Cut the onion and dispose of the skin properly, keeping a garbage bin nearby for convenience.

Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces to ensure they cook faster.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Use 6 yukon gold potatoes, roughly the same size, and feel free to use more if desired.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning.

Season the chicken generously with salt and black pepper, ensuring it's well seasoned.

Place the chicken in a large oven-safe skillet and add a generous amount of olive oil.

Add the potatoes to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them for better crispiness.

Roast the chicken and potatoes in the oven for about 1 hour, checking for doneness.

Let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes after removing it from the oven before serving.

If you want crispier potatoes, boil them for the last few minutes of cooking.

Turn the broiler on low for the last few minutes to crisp up the chicken.
