The roasting technique used for the chicken in this recipe is healthy and flavourful. Tucking the wings under and tying the legs together are important steps—it helps prevent the wings and drumsticks from drying out while the breast cooks through. Try any herb mixture you like; oregano, basil, or sage all work well. The potatoes and olives are cooked in a separate baking pan since they don’t take as long as the chicken to crisp and become tender.
