Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
12 ounces baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), trimmed of excess skin and fat, patted dry
2 1/2 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (from about 1/4 medium cabbage)
1/2 cup very thinly sliced red onion (about 1/4 onion)
1/4 cup chopped mint
1-2 tablespoons very thinly sliced jalapeño
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey

This dish is a testament to the power of simple, fresh ingredients. The crispy chicken, roasted potatoes, and cabbage slaw are all perfectly balanced, and the flavors really shine through. It's a dish that I would be proud to serve in my restaurant.

I love experimenting with different flavors, so I added a few of my own touches to this recipe. I used a blend of herbs and spices for the chicken, and I made a tangy dressing for the cabbage slaw. It was a delicious and unique take on a classic dish

This recipe is very affordable, especially if you use store-bought cabbage slaw. It's a great way to feed a family on a budget.

I love spicy food, so I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the chicken and potatoes. It gave the dish a nice kick, and it really brought out the flavors of the other ingredients.

I made a few modifications to make this dish healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I baked the chicken and potatoes instead of frying them. It was still delicious and satisfying, but it was also much better for me.

The crispy chicken and potatoes were cooked to perfection, and the cabbage slaw was a refreshing accompaniment. However, I found the overall flavor of the dish to be a bit bland. It could have used more seasoning.
