For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before tossing it with the other ingredients. If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried thyme or oregano also work well. Add other vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers to the roasting pan for a complete one-pan meal. For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon-herb mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
