Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with turmeric and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Make sure chicken is skin-side up, then pour vinegar over and around chicken and place in the oven.
- Step 2
Bake chicken, without flipping, until cooked through and deeply browned all over, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, combine olives, garlic, parsley, the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Once chicken is cooked, remove baking sheet from the oven and transfer chicken to a large serving platter, leaving behind any of the juices and bits stuck to the pan.
- Step 5
Make sure the baking sheet is on a sturdy surface (the stovetop, a counter), then pour the olive mixture onto the sheet. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently scrape up all the bits the chicken left behind, letting the olive mixture mingle with the rendered fat and get increasingly saucy. Pour olive mixture over the chicken, then serve.

I award it the Pullet Surprise!
We found our new chicken favorite. Perfect. Suggest not tampering with it. If you don’t like the ingredients, find another recipe before un-creating this one. In my oven, 25 minutes at 450°F leaves the chicken beautifully brown and juicy. A layer of aluminum foil will help keep the pan clean. Try spreading some of the marinade in the pan before adding the chicken. Move the chicken pieces around to coat the bottoms, then pour the rest of the topping over the skin sides.
I do like olives but they aren't a favorite. Would a combination of olives and capers be OK? Or would the tang of the capers compete with the flavors of the chicken?
A slight variation of this recipe has become my "go to" sheet pan chicken recipe! I make it at least twice a month with a sheet pan full of boneless skinless thighs. The turmeric and olive oil help the chicken brown nicely. I've tried a variety of vinegars (balsamic burns) and mostly use apple cider vinegar. Sometimes I maka the olive dressing (which is REALLY) good, and sometimes not. I always freeze at least half of the sheet pan full of chicken. Chutney makes a good topper.
A wonderful recipe.. I used chicken thighs
I used drumsticks and added 2 tablespoons tomato paste in step 1. In step 2, I cooked the chicken for 45 minutes. The result was delicious!
