Lemon Pepper Chicken Potatoes

No ratings yet
I've made a whole lot of chicken and potatoes recipes, such as, my lemony chicken and potatoes, my honey mustard chicken and potatoes, and my roasted chicken legs and potatoes. All of those recipes are divine but I have to admit this is my best and freshest chicken and potato recipe yet. It's lemon pepper chicken and potatoes and the base of the sauce this time is a stick of what? Of butter. There is something about the savory lemon pepper seasoning, butter, and a touch of honey that takes this recipe completely over the top delicious.

  6. Season the Chicken Thighs with 2tbsp of Lemon Pepper Seasoning evenly, Spoon the rest of the buttery sauce over the chicken (get under the skin too!), and brush it to fully coat the top of the chicken.
