Name: Alton Brown'S Smoked Paprika Chicken And Potatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 ounces pimento stuffed green olives, chopped; 2 teaspoons lemon zest; 2 garlic cloves, grated; 3 tablespoons smoked paprika; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground; 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs; 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced; 1 medium yellow onion, sliced

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Combine the olives, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
3
Mix the smoked paprika, olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper into a paste in a large bowl.
4
Lay the chicken thighs skin-side down. Using a pair of kitchen shears, make a cut down the length of the bone to expose it, then cut the meat away from the bone. Discard the bone.
5
Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the olive mixture under the skin of each chicken thigh and rub paprika paste on each. Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a cooling rack.
6
Arrange the potato slices and onion pieces in an even layer on a foil-lined half sheet pan. (I also sprinkled left over paste on potatoes.).
7
Place cooling rack over potatoes and bake until the skin is crispy and the potatoes are tender, 55 to 60 minutes. If you prefer the potatoes crispy, remove the rack with the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
