Provided by SFCook

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 1/4 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
2 tablespoons harissa (or use another thick hot sauce, such as sriracha)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1/2 lemon)
1/3 cup plain yogurt (do not use Greek yogurt)
1 small garlic clove
2 ounces baby arugula
Chopped fresh dill, as needed
Lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together harissa, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil. Pour over chicken and potatoes and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine leeks, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange chicken and potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes. Toss potatoes lightly. Scatter leeks over pan. Roast until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and slightly crisped, 25 to 30 minutes longer. While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Grate garlic over yogurt and season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon yogurt over chicken and vegetables in the pan. Scatter arugula and dill over mixture. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken came out dry and the potatoes were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the potatoes and sauce were delicious. I think I would try brining the chicken next time to help keep it moist.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the time specified. The potatoes were also cooked to perfection and the arugula-garlic yogurt sauce was a great addition. I will def

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. The sauce was delicious and really brought the whole dish together.
