200g
1 tsp paprika
5g
8 chicken thighs
800g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prep the Potatoes:
- Rinse and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
3. Season the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika and cinnamon together.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Cook the Potatoes and Onion:
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes and red onion slices with the olive oil until they are coated evenly.
- Spread the potatoes and onions out into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the Chicken:
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and onions on the baking sheet.
- Ensure the chicken thighs are spaced out evenly so they roast rather than steam.
6. Roast in the Oven:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken thighs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
7. Prepare the Gravy:
- While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, warm the chicken gravy on the stovetop over low heat. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth.
8. Combine and Serve:
- Once the chicken thighs are cooked through and the potatoes are crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Drizzle the warm chicken gravy over the chicken and potatoes, or serve it on the side for dipping.
9. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a light sprinkle of extra paprika for color.
10. Serve immediately:
- Enjoy your Spanish Chicken and Crispy Potatoes hot from the oven!

Tips:

- Ensure to evenly coat the potatoes in olive oil for the perfect crispy texture.

- For an extra flavor boost, marinate the chicken thighs in paprika and cinnamon for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Use a baking sheet large enough to prevent overcrowding, allowing the potatoes and chicken to cook evenly.

- Keep an eye on the dish while baking, stirring the potatoes occasionally to ensure they crisp up on all sides.

- Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for a burst of freshness before serving.
