Sheet-Pan Lemon-Pepper Chicken

Grate zest from 1 lemon to equal 1 tablespoon. Cut the grated lemon in half and squeeze to equal 2 tablespoons juice. Cut the remaining lemon into 8 wedges.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Stir together oil, garlic, syrup, rosemary, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss gently to coat.

Place the chicken, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the remaining oil mixture from the bowl over the chicken. Arrange the lemon wedges around the chicken.

Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to broil. Broil until the skin is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and let rest for 10 minutes. Squeeze the roasted lemon wedges over the chicken before serving
