Ingredients
- 225 g chicken thigh
- 280 g Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.7 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 0.4 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.2 tsp garlic powder
- 0.4 tsp kosher salt
- 0.2 tsp black pepper
- 60 g mayonnaise
- 0.1 tsp saffron threads
- 0.4 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.7 tbsp parsley
Method
- 01Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Thoroughly pat chicken thigh dry with paper towels. Season all over with 0.2 tsp kosher salt and 0.1 tsp black pepper.
- 02In a medium bowl, mix cubed Yukon Gold potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, remaining 0.2 tsp kosher salt, and remaining 0.1 tsp black pepper.
- 03Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place the chicken thigh skin-side up beside them.
- 04Roast for 35 to 45 minutes until the chicken skin is crisp and deep golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone reads at least 165°F (74°C). Ensure potatoes are fork-tender and browned.
- 05While roasting, mix mayonnaise, saffron threads, and lemon juice in a small bowl; let rest for 10 minutes to infuse saffron color and flavor.
- 06Plate the roasted potatoes with the chicken thigh, add a dollop of saffron aioli, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.
