  • Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron or regular skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook until beginning to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop rosemary and lemon thyme together.
  • Flip chicken; arrange potatoes, carrots, and celery around the edges of the skillet. Sprinkle herbs over top, then season with paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, white pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
