Sheet Pan Spanish-Style Chicken Legs with Potatoes

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks (about 1 lb)

2 T. olive oil, divided

½ T. smoked paprika (or use other paprika)

½ tsp. salt, divided

½ tsp. pepper, divided

¾ lb. small red potatoes, quartered

1 red onion, cut into thin wedges

1 lemon, cut into wedges

½ T. bottled minced garlic

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss together chicken, 1 T. oil, paprika, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in a large bowl; place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Toss potatoes with onion, lemon, garlic, remaining 1 T. oil, ¼ tsp each salt and pepper; surround chicken on pan with potato mixture. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until chicken legs are done and potatoes are tender; sprinkle with parsley. Note: For extra-crispy chicken, increase the oven temperature to broil after the 20-minute bake time and broil 3 minutes. Or to save fat and calories, remove chicken skin before serving.  Serve with Radicchio, Orange and Olive Salad
