Chicken Leg and Thighs - 4

Potato - 4, finger slices

Olive Oil - 6 tbsp.

Sumac - 2 tbsp.

All spice - 2 tsp

Coriander powder - 2 tsp

Garam Masala - 2 tsp

Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tbsp.

Pepper - 1 tsp

Salt

Onion - 2, finger slices

Cilantro - 1/4 cup, diced

Lemon wedges


Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position. Heat oven to 425°F On a rimmed baking sheet, combine chicken and potatoes. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle evenly with sumac, allspice, coriander, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, pepper, and salt. Rub all over and toss to ensure chicken and potatoes are evenly coated. Transfer chicken to a bowl or plate and spread potatoes in an even layer on baking sheet. For better salt penetration, let chicken sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or uncovered in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours, if desired.


Bake potatoes for 10 minutes. Remove rimmed baking sheet from oven, add onions, and toss gently with potatoes to combine. Return chicken to rimmed baking sheet, placing pieces along the edges of the pan, on top of potato and onion mixture for better browning. Return baking sheet to oven and cook until potatoes are almost tender and chicken is beginning to crisp. Remove pan from oven, scatter cilantro on top of chicken and potatoes, return to oven, and continue to cook until potatoes are tender and chicken is golden brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with additional sumac and serve with lemon wedges.
