Spice-Roasted Chicken & Lemon Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine 3 Tbsp. oil, Spanish seasoning, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place chicken, breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Loosen the skin over the breast and thigh meat; rub the spice mixture under the skin, plus a little over the skin. Place garlic and lemon halves inside the cavity. Roast, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

Toss potatoes with the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Remove the pan from the oven (be careful--the drippings can splatter). Scatter the potatoes around the chicken.

Return the pan to the oven and roast, turning the potatoes once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the innermost part of a thigh and thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F and the potatoes are golden and tender, 40 to 50 minutes more. Tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board. Discard the garlic and lemon from the cavity. Carve the chicken (see Tip) and serve with the potatoes.
