Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in skin-on Look for thighs with plump, moist skin and ample marbling.
2 cups baby potatoes, chopped Smaller potatoes roast quicker and crispier.
2 cups lettuce Any variety of lettuce will work.
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved Adds freshness and color.
1/2 piece cucumber, sliced Provides crunch and hydration.

Seasonings and Oil

2 tbsp olive oil Used for rubbing on chicken and tossing with potatoes.
1 tsp paprika Gives a vibrant color and flavor.
to taste Salt Essential for enhancing flavors.
to taste Black pepper Adds a mild heat.

Dressing

1/4 cup dressing or sauce Choose your favorite dressing.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Toss the chopped baby potatoes in olive oil and seasoning, then spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Cooking

Place the chicken skin-side up on a separate baking sheet alongside the potatoes and roast for 30-35 minutes.
While roasting, prepare the salad by mixing lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber in a separate bowl.

Serving

Layer your plate starting with crispy chicken, followed by roasted potatoes, and a generous scoop of salad.
Serve with your favorite dressing.

Notes

For better flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. To enhance potato texture, parboil before roasting. Avoid letting chicken rest too long to keep it juicy. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
