Roasted Chicken Drumsticks with Carrots and Potatoes

Tender roasted chicken drumsticks cooked alongside golden potatoes and sweet carrots, all seasoned with herbs and garlic in a one-pan, family-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
  • 4 medium potatoes, chopped into chunks
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  3. Spread vegetables evenly in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  4. Rub chicken drumsticks with remaining olive oil and season with the rest of the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  5. Nestle the drumsticks on top of the vegetables.
  6. Roast uncovered for 45–50 minutes, flipping the chicken and vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  7. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use bone-in, skin-on drumsticks for maximum flavor and moisture.
  • Add sliced onions or bell peppers for extra veggies.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
