Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, tomato paste, parsley, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs, coating them well. Set aside to marinate for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: In a baking dish, toss the halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly across the dish.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Place the marinated chicken thighs over the potatoes, skin side down. Cover the dish with foil.
  4. First Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes.
  5. Final Bake: Remove from the oven, uncover, and flip the chicken so the skin side is up. Increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden.
