| 1 | Preheat convection oven to 375°F (or set conventional oven to 400°F) |
| | 2 | Place garlic cloves in small bowl and pour olive oil over. Set aside. |
| | 3 | Sprinkle backside of chicken with salt and pepper. |
| | 4 | Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Place a parsley sprig on cut side of each potato half and press to adhere. |
| | 5 | Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add a few tablespoons of the olive oil from the bowl. When oil is hot, place chicken, backside down, in pan. Turn off heat. |
| | 6 | Place potatoes, cut side down, around the chicken in the hot oil. Pour remaining oil and garlic over chicken and potatoes. Use a brush, if necessary, to coat everything with the oil. Generously salt and pepper the chicken and potatoes. |
| | 7 | Put pan in center of oven and roast for 1 hour, or until juices run clear. |
| | 8 | Remove from oven and turn potatoes parsley side up. Serve straight from pan, dressing each serving with a bit of the pan juices. Give each guest a clove or two of the roasted garlic, which is delicious squeezed onto the chicken and potatoes. |
