Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 3cm chunks. Halve the red onions and cut into wedges.

  2. 2

    In a large roasting tin, toss the sweet potato and onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Mix the remaining paprika, oregano, crushed garlic, and 1 tbsp olive oil together. Slash each chicken thigh twice and rub the mixture all over.

  4. 4

    Nestle the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the roasting tin.

  5. 5

    Roast for 40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the sweet potato is tender. Squeeze over the lemon juice before serving.
