Steps to make Super-moist roast chicken with yams and broccoli:
  1. In a large, deep baking pan, combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns and herbs (I used thyme and tarragon) with several cups of cold water. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolves. Add the chicken quarters and enough extra cold water to submerge the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 F. Drain the chicken quarters and pat them dry. Rub them down with a few tbsp olive oil and sprinkle on the salt and garlic powder. Lay them skin-side up in a foil-lined baking tray and roast for 1 hour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss all the veg ingredients together along with a good glug of olive oil, a large pinch of salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Spread the veg in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. At the 30 minute mark for the chicken, put the veg in the upper rack of the oven.
  4. Pull the chicken quarters from the oven and let them rest for at least 10 minutes. While waiting, give the veg a stir and put them back in the oven under a low broil. Let cook a few minutes just to toast the veg a bit. Serve everything together.

While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, remaining spice blend and the juice of the remaining lemon wedges. Stir to thoroughly combine; season with salt and pepper to taste.
