Lemon Rosemary Garlic Roasted Chicken

Dear Southern Living magazine,

It's recipes like this that will make this girl a life-long subscriber!!  Amazing!  This roasted chicken is packed full of flavor!  We loved it and it will be a keeper recipe!

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (3.5 oz) jar capers, drained
2 lemons, sliced
10 garlic cloves, smashed
3 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil
6 chicken legs
4 skin-on, bone in chicken thoughts (I bought skinless and they were fine)
2 lb small red potatoes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Stir together first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl.  Place a roasting pan on stove top over two burners.  Add 3 Tbsp olive oil, and heat over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle chicken with desired amount of salt and pepper; place skin sides down in pan.  Add potatoes.  Cook 9-10 minutes or until chicken is browned.  Turn chicken and pour lemon mixture over chicken.  Bake at 450 for 45-50 minutes or until chicken is done.  Serve with sauce from the pan and crusty french bread.
