Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks (4 of each; about 2 1/2 pounds total)
3 Fresno chile peppers, seeded and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
Heaping 1/2 teaspoon honey
4 cups iceberg lettuce salad mix

Steps:

  • Put a baking sheet on the top oven rack and preheat to 475 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread out on the hot baking sheet and roast until the potatoes start browning, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cook skin-side down until the skin is crisp and brown, about 6 minutes, then flip and brown lightly on the other side, about 3 minutes.
  • Make the sauce: Blend the chiles, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon vinegar, the paprika, honey and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender to make a chunky puree. Gradually blend in 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
  • Move the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet and add the chicken skin-side up to the other side. Brush all over with the remaining chile sauce. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are browned and crisp, 13 to 15 minutes. Divide the chicken, potatoes and pan juices among plates.
  • Toss the lettuce mix with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add the salad to the plates. Serve with the reserved chile sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and high-quality meat and seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or potatoes, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help bring out the flavor of the ingredients.
  • Cook your chicken until it's cooked through: To ensure that your chicken is cooked safely, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve your dish immediately: Spicy Mexican chicken with potatoes is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy and the potatoes are crispy.
