  2. Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
  4. Drizzle the chicken with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  5. Season the chicken generously with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the seasoning into the chicken.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1.5 lbs potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces), and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped).
  7. Pour the potato mixture into the roasting pan, spreading it evenly around and under the chicken pieces.
  8. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the potatoes are tender.
