Instructions

Bake Chicken
1

Adjust racks to middle and upper positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place on a baking sheet, skin sides up. Bake on upper rack until cooked through and skin is crisp, about 30 minutes.

Roast Potatoes
2

Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a second baking sheet with salt, pepper, half the Fry Seasoning (use the rest as you like), and a large drizzle of olive oil. Bake on middle rack until browned and tender, about 25 minutes.

Make Glaze
3

Meanwhile, zest lemon until you have ½ tsp; quarter lemon. Place jam, 1 tsp mustard (we sent more), and 1 TBSP butter in a small pot. Heat over medium heat, whisking until smooth, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in a squeeze or two of lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt.

Glaze Chicken
4

Once chicken is cooked through, remove from oven and brush with half the glaze. Return to oven and bake until glaze is tacky and has dried out a little bit, 3-5 minutes.

Cook Broccoli
5

Meanwhile, place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 TBSP water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave on high until tender, 4-5 minutes. Carefully remove wrap, then drain water from bowl. Stir in lemon zest, 1 TBSP butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chili flakes (to taste).

Serve
6

Divide chicken, broccoli, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle remaining glaze over chicken. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
