Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:

   • Cut the chicken into pieces and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry and place the chicken in a large mixing bowl.

2. Season Chicken:

   • Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the chicken until evenly coated with the seasoning.

3. Prep Potatoes:

   • Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into halves.

4. Prepare Breadcrumbs:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to moisten them.

5. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6. Prepare Roasting Pan:
