DIRECTIONS

Trim chicken and cut into pieces, severing legs at joint and cutting breasts in half crosswise.

Peel potatoes; slice into ¼-inch thick slices. In bowl, combine potatoes, chicken, lemon juice, vegetable oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in 13x9-inch baking dish.

Arrange chicken, skin side up, over potatoes. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Trim tops from garlic heads; brush with olive oil and wrap in foil.

Nestle into chicken and potatoes.

Roast in a 425F oven, basting occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove garlic and discard foil; return garlic to pan. Bake, basting a few times, for 30 to 45 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and potatoes are tender. Halve garlic lengthwise. Garnish with fresh rosemary.

TEST KITCHEN TIP: If using fresh rosemary instead of dried, there is no need to refrigerate the assembled dish for 4 hours.

This chicken dish makes an easy dinner. Let your guests squeeze mellow garlic onto individual servings. If you like, you can crinkle-cut the sweet potatoes.
