Spicy Roasted Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
Ingredients:
10 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on heat preference)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), for garnish
Instructions:
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure they roast to a crispy finish.
Season the Chicken:
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the seasoning mix.
Vegetable Prep:
Chop the red bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Roasting:
Arrange the seasoned chicken drumsticks on a large baking tray.
Scatter the chopped vegetables around the chicken on the tray.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Serving:
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs before serving to add a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot, perfect with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
Cooking Tip: Ensure the chicken is not crowded on the tray to allow it to roast evenly and get a nice crust.
Enjoy your meal filled with the robust flavors of spices and tender, juicy chicken that’s perfect for any dinner occasion!
