Description

This easy sheet pan chicken drumstick dinner is packed with flavor. This is a high protein recipe packed with veggies that is affordable and easy to make!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds chicken drumsticks (10–12 drumsticks)
  • 4 cups cubed potatoes (russets or yukon golds, about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cups carrots (roughly chopped (about 8 large carrots))
  • 2 cups sliced onions (about 2 large onions chopped into thick half circles)
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped garlic (about 6 garlic cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon premade italian seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Step: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a parchment lined baking sheet.
  2. Step: Cut potatoes in 1 inch cubes.
  3. Step: Peel and cut each carrot into 4 pieces. Peel the onion and slice it in half, cutting in large half circles.
  4. Step: Pat drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Place drumsticks on a lined cookie sheet, spreading them apart so there is space in between them.
  5. Step: Take chopped potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic and place them in between the drumsticks on your cookie sheet.
  6. Step: Pour olive oil evenly across the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle with spices.
  7. Step: Mix the oil and seasoning with a pair of tongs or your hands so that all pieces are evenly coated.
  8. Step: Place the sheet pan in the middle rack of your oven and cook at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
  9. Step: If you want to get some extra crispiness on the tops of your drumsticks and vegetables, turn your oven to the broil setting and broil for 3-5 minutes once finished cooking. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pat dry your chicken drumsticks and season them with a sprinkle of salt before placing on your cookie sheet, about 10 minutes to draw out moisture for tender crispy chicken. You can add more vegetables like mushrooms and butternut squash, or swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes.
