3. Heat a Large 16 x 13 Roasting Pan or a Large Deep Skillet over Medium to Medium High Heat. Add 1 - 2 Tbsp Oil. Add Chicken Skin Side Down. Once Chicken Fat starts to render out, add the Potatoes. Make sure the Exposed Potato is touching the pan, not the Skin Side. Check & Move Chicken & Potatoes around to ensure they are Browning Evenly. This will take several minutes.
