Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
To make the sauce mix the oil, lemon juice, paprika, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
Pat dry the chicken and the potatoes with a paper towel and place them evenly on a baking sheet. If not using a non-stick baking sheet you can cover it with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and the potatoes and use your hands to evenly coat them with the sauce.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. The chicken should register an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). If you notice that the chicken is cooked through but is still a bit pale, you can broil it for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
You can marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before roasting. Try not to marinate for more than 4 hours to avoid the acidity of the sauce from breaking down the meat.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator inside an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
Reheat in the microwave for a few minutes or in the oven at 350°F (180°C) until warm.
