Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
12 ounces baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), trimmed of excess skin and fat, patted dry
2 1/2 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (from about 1/4 medium cabbage)
1/2 cup very thinly sliced red onion (about 1/4 onion)
1/4 cup chopped mint
1-2 tablespoons very thinly sliced jalapeño
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.
