Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush chicken with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Place chicken quarters on a large sheet pan. Arrange an even layer of red onions, sweet potatoes and apple slices on the pan. (Place onions under a corner of the chicken to ensure even cooking.) Sprinkle vegetables with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
