Ingredients (Per Serving or Scalable for Bulk Prep)

  • 3 small yellow potatoes, quartered

  • Olive oil (as needed)

  • Garlic powder (to taste)

  • Louisiana Pepper Exchange Piri Piri Sauce (as needed)

    Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Set the oven to 400°F. For high-volume operations, a convection oven ensures even roasting.

  2. Season & Prep the Vegetables:

    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peppers, onions, and quartered potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

    • Spread evenly on a full-size sheet pan for efficient roasting.

  3. Marinate the Chicken:

    • Generously coat chicken thighs with Piri Piri sauce, massaging to ensure even coverage.

    • Place the chicken on the sheet pan with vegetables, spacing evenly to allow proper airflow and crisping.

  4. Roast to Perfection:

    • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

  5. Serve & Hold:

    • Keep warm for service.

    • Serve as a plated entrée, over grains, or in meal prep containers for efficient bulk service.

This dish brings a perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and comfort—ideal for streamlined kitchen operations.
