Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts, rested at room temp 20 minutes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage minced
  • Salt to taste

For the Potatoes:

  • 1.5 lbs russet potatoes diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped sage
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine butter with 1 tablespoon of the chopped sage. Rub half the butter mixture under the chicken skin, and the rest on the outside.
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, remaining sage, and a generous pinch of salt.
  • Spread the potatoes on a large sheet pan. Nestle the chicken pieces on top.
  • Season chicken with more salt if desired.
  • Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Roast for another 15 minutes, or until chicken skin is crisp and golden.
  • If potatoes need more crisping, remove chicken and return potatoes to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, tossing once.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Bring the chicken to room temperature before roasting for even cooking.
  • Dice potatoes small so they crisp up nicely.
  • Use fresh sage if possible for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Leftovers? Shred the chicken and toss with the potatoes for a savory hash.
