Instructions

Heat oven to 425F. Wash chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Peel and cut potatoes into quarters, wedges, or slices.
Add the oil, Greek yogurt, cilantro, lemon, tomato paste, garlic, and seasoning to a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken to the mixing bowl and mix well. Be sure to rub the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
Arrange potatoes and seasoned chicken pieces in a medium 15’’ roasting pan. Rinse the mixing bowl with a few tablespoons of water and pour onto the potatoes. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour then remove the foil and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the skin is charred and crispy
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and cilantro before serving. Serve with a side of rice, salad, or mashed potatoes.
