Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure your oven rack is in the middle for even baking.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, dried oregano, black pepper, and paprika until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Pat the chicken thighs and drumsticks dry with paper towels. Wash and chop the potatoes into smaller, uniform pieces for even cooking. Place the chicken and potatoes on a large sheet pan and pat dry.
Coat with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and potatoes, making sure everything is evenly coated. Use tongs or a spoon to toss gently if needed.
Bake: Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Rest and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh flavor.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For crispier potatoes, you can broil the dish for an extra 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
