Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Peel the potatoes and cut them into larger, uniform pieces. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, sweet paprika powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Seasoning
Add the chicken drumsticks and chopped potatoes to the seasoned oil. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated with the spice mixture. Arrange the chicken and potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure not to overcrowd the pan so everything can roast evenly.
Roasting
Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken drumsticks are golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are tender and roasted. Halfway through, flip the potatoes and chicken once to ensure even cooking. Serve immediately with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
Extra Tips
► For even crispier skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before roasting.
► If you like a bit of a kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to your spice mix.
► Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep it extra juicy.
