Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture generously over the chicken thighs.
  3. Prep the Potato Wedges: In another bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Arrange on Baking Tray: Lay the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet alongside the potato wedges.
  2. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is deeply browned and crispy.
  3. Prepare the Salad: While the chicken and potatoes bake, toss together chopped lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and julienned carrots in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Once everything is beautifully roasted, plate the crispy roasted chicken thighs alongside golden potatoes and the refreshing salad.

Notes

For the best flavor, consider marinating the chicken in spices a few hours or overnight. Use skinless chicken for a lighter option or substitute with sweet potatoes.
