👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray

with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano,

thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken drumsticks

thoroughly with the marinade.

Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, salt, and

pepper until evenly coated.

Arrange the drumsticks and potato wedges on the baking

tray in a single layer. Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping

halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal

temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden

and crisp.

While everything bakes, prepare the salad by combining

lettuce, cucumber slices, and red onion rings in a bowl.

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for

the dressing. Drizzle lightly over the salad just before

serving.

Plate the crispy chicken drumsticks with roasted potato

wedges and fresh salad. Serve with extra lemon wedges

if desired.

💡 Helpful Notes & Variations

Add chili flakes for extra heat. 🌶️

Yukon Gold potatoes create especially crispy wedges. 🥔

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving for

juicier meat. 🍗

A garlic yogurt dip pairs beautifully with this dish. 🥣
