Step 1

Pat the chicken dry and salt generously on both sides. Set aside at room temperature for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients (ideally 30 minutes, if you have the time).

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 3

Place sprouts, potatoes, and shallots on a large sheet pan. Season with salt and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Toss.

Step 4

Now, in a small bowl mix the spices together.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 1/3 tbsp of the spice mixture on top of the veggies.

Step 6

To the remaining spice mixture, add the garlic, lemon juice and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Stir to combine into a paste. Coat the chicken with this paste on both sides and also underneath the skin (lift skin up and add spice paste, this is important for flavor).

Step 7

Nestle the chicken pieces in with the vegetables on the sheet pan.

Step 8

Roast in heated oven until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175° and vegetables are just tender (about 35 minutes or so). Enjoy! (see suggestions for what to serve with paprika chicken up in the post)
