STEPS:

  • Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a large bowl or ziplock bag, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

    • Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks, tossing them until well coated with the marinade.

    • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or, for best results, overnight. If short on time, you can toss the marinade with the chicken and potatoes and bake immediately.

  • Prepare the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 415°F.

  • Slice the Potatoes:

    • Wash and slice the potatoes, leaving the skin on if preferred.

  • Assemble the Dish:

    • Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on top of the sliced potatoes in a single layer.

    • Pour any extra marinade over the chicken and potatoes for maximum flavor.

    • Mix everything together with your hands to ensure it’s evenly coated.

    • Transfer the mixture to a rimmed baking sheet or a pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  • Roast the Chicken and Potatoes:

    • Roast in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

    • For a crisp finish, broil for an additional 2-5 minutes after roasting for 50 minutes.

  • Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro before serving.

    • Enjoy your flavorful roasted chicken and potatoes!
