Ingredients
For the Chicken:
6 Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/4 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
Dash of Chili Flakes (optional and customizable depending on spice preference)
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Oregano
Juice of 1 Lemon
For the Roasted Baby Potatoes:
1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes
3–4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (enough to coat)
1 tbsp Creole Seasoning
1 tsp Oregano
Salt (to taste)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: Whisk olive oil, tomato paste, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, oregano, and lemon juice. Toss chicken in ¾ of the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 8). Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
Marinate the Baby Potatoes: Halve and wash baby potatoes. Toss with olive oil, Creole seasoning, oregano, and salt. Cover and refrigerate alongside the chicken.
Bake Everything: Remove marinated chicken and potatoes from the fridge 1 hour before baking. Preheat oven to 410°F. Roast potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined sheet. After 15 minutes, add chicken to a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
Flip potatoes and baste chicken with reserved marinade during the last 10–15 minutes. Continue baking until chicken is crispy and reaches 155°F, and potatoes are golden and crisp.
Plate and Serve: Let everything cool slightly. Arrange potatoes on a platter, layer chicken on top, and serve with your favorite veggies or a fresh side salad.
