Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat your chicken pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels. Wash your potatoes well and halve or quarter them.
- In a large bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and all-purpose flour or cornstarch. Whisk together.
- Pour in the olive oil, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk until you have a thick, smooth, mud-like paste.
- Add the chicken pieces, cut potatoes, and any optional vegetables to the bowl with the mud paste. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated chicken and potatoes out onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring space between each piece.
- Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, gently flip the chicken and potatoes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to roast for another 25-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken and potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
