Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place on a sheet pan. Add bell pepper, onion, and crushed garlic cloves.

Cut the chorizo into 1-inch pieces. Arrange chicken thighs and chorizo on the pan. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

Mix everything by hand to coat evenly. Bake on the middle rack for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
