French Roasted Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

Ever since I was a little girl, I've adored spending time in the kitchen with my grandma, who grew up in the French countryside. She taught me so many classic French dishes, but roasting chicken was always one of my absolute favorites. I have such wonderful memories of her kitchen filled with the incredible aromas of chicken roasting away in the oven. It's one of those nostalgic smells that immediately transports me back to my childhood.
