Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for roasting.
Prepare the chicken legs: Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the potatoes: Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and any extra herbs you prefer.
Arrange the dish: On a baking sheet or in a large roasting pan, arrange the chicken legs in the center. Scatter the seasoned potatoes around the chicken.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 40-45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender, stirring the potatoes halfway through.
Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
