👨🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the veggies: In a large bowl, combine chopped potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Toss with half the olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.
Season the chicken: Pat drumsticks dry. Rub with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.
Assemble the dish: Spread the vegetable mix in a baking dish. Nestle the drumsticks evenly over the top.
Add moisture: Spoon diced tomatoes around the dish for extra flavor and moisture.
Bake uncovered: Roast for 50–55 minutes, or until chicken skin is crispy and internal temp reaches 165°F (75°C). Stir veggies halfway through if needed.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 Notes & Variations
Swap drumsticks for chicken thighs or bone-in breasts—adjust cooking time accordingly.
Add a splash of chicken broth if more moisture is desired.
Spice it up with chili flakes or hot paprika.
Great with crusty bread or a green salad on the side.
