Warm mashed potatoes until fluffy and smooth for that best comfort food dinner feel. Steam broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp—this adds balance to your family dinner showstopper plate.

Calories: ~480 kcal per serving

Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks (about 2½–3 lbs / 1.2–1.4 kg)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

3 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, sliced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

¾ cup (180 ml) chicken broth

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a large baking dish to prevent sticking.

Spread the vegetables in the prepared baking dish and place the seasoned drumsticks on top.

Carefully pour the chicken broth and lemon juice around the vegetables, keeping the tops of the drumsticks exposed for better browning.

Roast uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175°F (80°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender with golden edges.

For extra crisp skin, switch to broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
