Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 tbsp olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp paprika Use smoked paprika for a richer flavor
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chili flakes Add more for a spicier version
  • 1 tsp salt
For the Sides
  • 2 large potatoes (cut into fries) Firm and blemish-free
  • 2 fresh tomatoes (sliced) Ripe but firm to hold shape
  • 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup parsley (chopped) For garnish
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or garlic mayo Greek yogurt for a tangy twist
  • 1 tsp lemon juice Adjust for taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper to create the spice rub.
  2. Generously coat the chicken leg quarters with the spice rub.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken on a baking tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40–45 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Slice the potatoes into thick fries, season, and bake or fry until crispy.
Assembly
  1. Combine sliced red onion, parsley, and lemon juice for a fresh salad.
  2. Slice the fresh tomatoes.
  3. Arrange the roasted chicken, crispy fries, salad, fresh tomato slices, and yogurt dip on a large platter.

Notes

To save time, pre-cut your potatoes a day in advance. For reheating, place the chicken in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
