🛒 Ingredients
🍗 8 chicken drumsticks (about 1 kg)
🥔 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
🫑 1 red bell pepper, chopped
🫑 1 green bell pepper, chopped
🧅 1 medium onion, finely chopped
🧄 3 garlic cloves, minced
🌿 2 tsp dried thyme
🌶️ 1 tsp paprika
🧂 Salt & pepper to taste
🌶️ ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
🧪 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
🛢️ 3 tbsp olive oil
💧 100 ml chicken broth or water
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) top/bottom heat.
Marinate the drumsticks: In a large bowl, mix the chicken with olive oil, garlic, thyme, paprika, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Prep the veggies: In a baking dish, combine potatoes, peppers, and onions. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Combine & bake: Nestle the marinated drumsticks into the veggie mix. Pour the chicken broth around (not over) the chicken.
Roast uncovered for 45–50 minutes, turning drumsticks once halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (75°C internal temp) and potatoes are tender.
Finish & serve: Let rest 5 minutes. Spoon pan juices over before serving.
🔁 Notes & Variations
Swap drumsticks for bone-in chicken thighs or wings.
Add chunks of carrot or zucchini for extra vegetables.
For crispy skin, broil for the last 3–5 minutes.
