  • (8) chicken drumsticks
  • (4) medium potatoes
  • (4 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 tbsp) garlic powder
  • (1 tsp) paprika
  • (1 tsp) onion powder
  • (1 tsp) dried thyme
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (1 tsp) salt
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the (8) chicken drumsticks with (2 tbsp) olive oil, (1 tbsp) garlic powder, (1 tsp) paprika, (1 tsp) onion powder, (1 tsp) dried thyme, (1/2 tsp) black pepper, and (1 tsp) salt until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange the chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.

  4. 4

    In another bowl, combine the (4) medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges, with (2 tbsp) olive oil, (1 tbsp) minced garlic, (1 tsp) salt, and (1/2 tsp) black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes well.

  5. 5

    Place the potato wedges around the chicken on the baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C), and the potatoes are crisp and tender.

  7. 7

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with (1 tbsp) chopped parsley before serving.
