  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  2. Combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, oregano, thyme, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl or a resealable bag.
  3. Lay the chicken thighs skin-side down on a large rimmed baking tray. Drizzle with a quarter of the olive oil, rub it over the thighs, and sprinkle with some of the seasoning mix.
  4. Turn the chicken over, drizzle with another quarter of the oil, and season with more of the mix.
  5. Toss the diced potatoes with half of the remaining oil and some seasoning. Arrange them around the chicken on the sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the sheet from the oven, scatter the bell pepper and red onion over the potatoes, and toss with the rest of the oil. Return to the oven and roast for a further 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (juices run clear, or a probe reads 74°C and the potatoes are tender. If you want extra browning, finish under the grill for a few minutes.
