Ingredients (Serves 4)
	•	4 chicken leg quarters (washed & patted dry)
	•	500 g baby potatoes (parboiled)
	•	¼ cup (4 tbsp) olive oil
	•	¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
	•	2 tbsp chopped garlic
	•	3 tsp smoked paprika (+ extra for sprinkling)
	•	1 tsp onion powder
	•	1 tsp black pepper
	•	1–1½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
	•	½–1 tsp chicken powder (optional)
	•	1–2 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
	•	Zest of 1 lemon
	•	Fresh coriander or chives (for garnish)

👉 Optional: add a pinch of red chili powder if you like extra heat!

⸻

Method
	1.	Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
	2.	Prepare marinade: mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, salt, chicken powder (if using), thyme, and lemon zest.
	3.	Pat chicken dry (this helps the skin turn crispy).
	4.	Place parboiled potatoes and chicken in a baking dish. Pour over the marinade, massage in well, and sprinkle a little extra paprika on top.
	5.	Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, with top and bottom heating on.
	6.	For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes until golden.
	7.	Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
