Preheat the oven to 230°C.

In a large bowl, mix the halved potatoes, olives, 2 tablespoons of oil, and half of the spice mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet, brush them with the remaining oil, season with salt and pepper, and rub with the remaining spice mixture.
