For this step: olive oil, salt, ground black pepper
Once the oven is hot, roast the potatoes until browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes, turning them once halfway through.

Pat the chicken dry and season it on both sides with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a little salt and pepper.

When the potatoes have about 20 minutes left, heat the rest of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
For this step: olive oil
Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken and cook until browned and the thickest pieces reach 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Move the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Keep the skillet for the sauce.
5 minWhile the chicken rests, turn the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add the barbecue sauce and the rest of the vinegar, and simmer, stirring, until hot and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
For this step: barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar
Chop the chicken into bite-size pieces, return it to the skillet, and toss to coat it in the sauce.
Divide the potatoes among bowls. Top with the barbecue chicken and slaw, and scatter the scallions over.
