Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Chicken drumsticks
- 4 medium Carrots
- 6 medium Red potatoes
- 1 large Red onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and pat dry the chicken drumsticks. Set aside.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thick sticks. Cut the red potatoes into quarters. Slice the red onion into wedges. Leave the garlic cloves whole but remove their skins.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture. Remove the drumsticks and set aside.
Add the vegetables (carrots, potatoes, red onion, and garlic) to the remaining oil mixture in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Place the chicken drumsticks on top of the vegetables.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, flipping the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the drumsticks and vegetables hot with your favorite side dish or salad.
