OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND POTATOES WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY

Oven-Baked Chicken and Potatoes With Lemon and Rosemary image

This isn't a "traditional" German recipe, but I got it from a German woman who invented it. This recipe uses legs, but you can use any part of the chicken you want. This recipe is also good with any white fish (I used halibut). I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
