📝 Ingredients:
🍗 8 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
🥔 600g potatoes, peeled and cubed
🌶️ 1 red bell pepper, diced
🧅 1 medium onion, chopped
🧄 3 garlic cloves, minced
🫒 3 tbsp olive oil
🍋 Juice of 1/2 lemon

🧂 Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth or water
👩‍🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a large baking dish or roasting tray.
Season the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, thyme, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Add drumsticks and coat thoroughly.
Prepare the veggies: Add potatoes, bell pepper, and onion to the baking dish. Pour in the chicken broth. Toss with a bit of the leftover marinade.
Arrange and bake: Nestle the drumsticks on top of the vegetables. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes, turning the drumsticks once halfway, until chicken is browned and cooked through (internal temp 74°C / 165°F) and potatoes are tender.
Optional broil: For crispier skin, broil for the last 3–5 minutes.
Serve hot directly from the dish, spooning juices over the chicken and potatoes.

Swap drumsticks for bone-in thighs — just adjust cook time to 60–65 minutes.
Add sliced carrots or zucchini for extra veggies.
For a Mediterranean twist, mix in olives or capers before baking.
