Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 chicken leg quarters or drumsticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
For the Potatoes
  • 6 medium potatoes cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp oil for potatoes
For the Sides
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix cabbage carrots
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir in olive oil to create a thick paste.
  2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Generously coat all sides of each piece with the spice paste. Let sit for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Cut potatoes into even-sized wedges. Toss with oil and salt. Grill on medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, until golden and crispy.
  4. Place seasoned chicken on preheated grill over medium-high heat. Grill skin-side down for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip and cook another 12 to 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, plain yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour dressing over coleslaw mix and toss well until fully coated. Let sit a few minutes before serving.
  7. Arrange grilled chicken in the center of each plate. Add crispy potato wedges on one side, fresh cucumber slices on the other, and top with coleslaw. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for a crispier skin. Turn the potatoes frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. The coleslaw can be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled. For extra flavor, let the seasoned chicken marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before grilling.
