Slayer Sheet Pan Chicken & Potatoes
Calling all Slayer fans: This chicken-and-potato sheet pan winner tastes like sour cream and onion potato chips. A splash of dill pickle juice joins Potato Slayer and olive oil to create a bright, herbaceous marinade for the chicken and potatoes (this can be done just before cooking for a deeper flavor pop the mixture in the fridge the morning before you plan to cook). While the chicken and vegetables sizzle and crisp in the seasoned oil, you’ll prepare a simple Lemony Yogurt sauce that turns this easy breezy meal into a restaurant-worthy feast and pulls all the flavors together.

The second layer of fresh dill isn’t essential, but it adds appetizing color and a wonderful aroma to the finished dish. A couple handfuls of peppery arugula provide crunch and balance to the chicken’s rich, roasted flavors.

To finish
Directions
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and season with Potato Slayer; use your hands to ensure all of the thighs are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Drizzle the chicken with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, add the potatoes and pickle juice and toss to combine. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
In a medium bowl, combine the leeks, artichoke hearts, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
Heat oven to 425 F. Arrange the chicken and potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes, and then gently toss the potatoes (leave the chicken undisturbed).
Scatter the leek and artichoke mixture over the pan, tucking the artichokes alongside the potatoes so they can sizzle in the rendered fat. (It’s okay if a portion of the leeks are on top of the chicken.) Roast for an additional 25-30 minutes longer, until everything is golden and lightly crisped, and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, combine the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, garlic in a small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve, spoon the yogurt sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Scatter the arugula and dill over the mixture. Top with a light drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice and serve.
