1. 1Step 1: Add all the ingredients for the marinade except the chicken and the potatoes to a big bowl and stir to combine.
2. 2Step 2: Make deep gashes in the chicken pieces using a sharp knife. You want the marks to go all the way down to the bone so that the chicken gets nice and flavorful.
3. 3Step 3: Add the chicken to prepared marinade and stir to combine so that all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover using plastic wrap and let the chicken marinade for at least 1 hour and ideally, for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
4. 4Step 4: Place a wire rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425ºF. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade to the baking sheet, leaving behind as much of the marinade as you can. Add the potatoes and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt to the marinade and give them a toss. Let them hang out while the oven preheats. Then spread the potatoes around the chicken pieces and bake in the oven for 27-37 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and registers 160ºF on a meat thermometer. Kick the broiler on for 1-2 minutes or until the chicken gets nice and golden on top.
5. 5Step 5: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime or lemon wedges on the side.
