For extra crispy chicken skin, pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels before coating with the spice mixture. Feel free to add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as onions, bell peppers, or zucchini. Adjust the amount of paprika to your liking, using smoked paprika for a deeper, smokier flavor. If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, you can cover the roasting pan with foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with paprika, half of the olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the salt, and half of the pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
03
StepIn a separate large bowl, toss the red potatoes with the remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the lemon slices and toss well, ensuring the potatoes are coated with the lemon-infused oil.
04
StepArrange the chicken drumsticks in a large roasting pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Surround the chicken with the potatoes and lemon slices, distributing them evenly around the pan.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Rotate and flip the chicken and potatoes to ensure even browning. (25 minutes)
06
StepContinue baking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, approximately 20 to 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone of a drumstick should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (20-30 minutes)
07
StepRemove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more flavorful and tender chicken.

May 30, 2025I found that the chicken was done a bit before the potatoes were fully tender, so next time I'll cut the potatoes a bit smaller or give them a head start in the oven.
