Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast
- 1 1/2 pounds large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (5 to 6 thighs)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 2 lemons (1 juiced, 1 cut into wedges)
- 2 large or 3 medium red onions, halved and thinly sliced
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Place a large cast-iron baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet on the rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large microwave-safe baking dish and toss to coat.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pierce the plastic in a few places with a knife and microwave 8 minutes to partially cook.
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and transfer to a bowl.
- Sprinkle with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Add 2 tablespoons parsley and the lemon juice; toss to coat.
- Set aside.
- Remove the hot baking dish from the oven; carefully add the potatoes and spread in an even layer.
- Scatter the onions on top.
- Roast until the potatoes start to brown, about 12 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes and lay the chicken pieces on top, adding any accumulated juices from the bowl; return to the oven and roast until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 12 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.
- Serve with the lemon wedges.
