1. Step 1

   Finely chop 2 tablespoons of the parsley and place in a large bowl. Add the chilli, oregano, sugar, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar. Stir to combine. Use a large sharp knife to cut 3 slits in each chicken drumstick. Add to marinade and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 mins to marinate.

2. Step 2

   Spray a barbecue grill or chargrill with oil and heat on medium. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 10-12 mins or until cooked through.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with water. Cover with paper towel. Microwave on high for 4-5 mins or until just tender. Thickly slice and place in a bowl with remaining paprika and 2 teaspoons of the remaining oil. Toss to coat. Cook potato with chicken for 2-3 mins each side or until golden.

4. Step 4
