Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a small bowl, mix the parsley, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and zest. Season the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Step 2

Divide the parsley mixture into 4 mounds. Carefully loosen the chicken skin with fingers; tuck the parsley mixture under the skin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan.

Step 3

Bake until the skin is crispy, the chicken is cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F, about 30 minutes.
