Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper (if your baking sheet is prone to sticking, otherwise skip this step).
3. Add chicken, potatoes, onions, whole lemon pieces, olives, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to prepared baking sheet. Toss everything very well to coat, and spread into a single layer with chicken skin side up. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, turning potatoes and onions halfway through, until chicken has an internal temperature of 165 F and potatoes are tender when pierced with knife.
4. For sauce and assembly, while tray bake is cooking, add all sauce ingredients to small bowl and whisk well to combine. Remove lemon pieces from tray bake and discard. Drizzle tray bake with yogurt sauce (or enjoy on the side), sprinkle with cilantro and sumac and additional salt if desired, and serve.
