- Master Oil Coating Technique: Separately massage chicken and potatoes with olive oil to guarantee uniform coverage, preventing dryness and promoting beautiful caramelization.
- Layer Seasoning Strategically: Create a balanced spice blend with paprika, poultry seasoning, and black pepper, applying generously to enhance overall taste complexity.
