Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a large baking sheet with sides, add half the lemon slices to half of the sheet and arrange the chicken skin-side up over them. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

Over the portion of the baking sheet with the chicken, add the remaining lemon slices and season again with salt, pepper and paprika.
