A simply delicious and frugal dinner! So versatile, you can use virtually any of your favorite veggies, such as those listed below, or other favorites like butternut squash, cauliflower, parsnips, etc. Just be sure to cut the veggies accordingly, so they’ll cook evenly alongside the chicken.
Lightly brush both sides of the drumsticks with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle with additional sea salt.
Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges and roast until chicken is cooked through.
Herb Roasted Drumsticks & Veggies (GF)
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6-8 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
- 8-10 small organic potatoes, quartered (we like to use a potato medley)
- 4 medium organic carrots, cut into 2” pieces
- 2 medium organic zucchini, cut into 3” pieces
- Half of a medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Place drumsticks and onion wedges on a foil-lined, large-rimmed baking sheet (12x17) and lightly brush both sides with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle chicken with additional sea salt.
- Next, add one additional tablespoon of olive oil to the remaining herb-oil mixture. Add the veggies and garlic halves to the bowl and toss well to coat. Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges, as shown in photo below.
- Roast 40-45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Serve with a big salad and buttermilk biscuits with butter! Mmm!
Made this tonight and it was delicious! Subbed coconut oil (ran out of EVOO) and used Freah Market poultry seasoning!
So glad you enjoyed it, Jackie! I bet the coconut oil gave it a nice subtle sweetness too! Great idea! Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note! Blessings, Kelly 🙂
I thank you for this herb-oil mixture. I’ve used it on chicken thighs with great results. Tonight, I’ll be preparing fresh flounder using the mixture…..should be very savory.
You are so welcome, Charles! So glad you enjoy it and what a great idea to use it on fish as well! Appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind note! Blessings, Kelly 🙂
This is delicious! I will be making it for the second time tonight! My whole family–husband, 3 year old, and 8 month old–looooove it! Plus, the cheap cut of meat makes eating organic/free range that much more doable for us. Thank you 🙂
So glad you all enjoyed this and yes, I agree, we do a lot with drumsticks and wings around here. I’ve got to post some of my wing recipes over summer! Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note! Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂
This has become a staple in our home. I’ve made it about 4 times over the past six months and the last time was for company. We love this. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note, Aubrey. What a blessing. So glad you’re enjoying this! Blessings, Kelly 🙂
My family loves this dish! It has become a regular part of our menu rotation. Thank you so much for your website. I have had to cut dairy, and now gluten, from my diet. Your website has made this transition so much easier and yummier! 🙂
Oh that is so great to hear, I’m so happy you’re finding this site helpful to you. Appreciate your kind words, Nancy! Blessings, Kelly 🙂
We made this meal tonight and not a single person in the family complained – they all raved! Meals that win over everyone don’t happen nearly enough with 6 people, so I really appreciate it. Thanks!
You are so sweet, Steph! Thanks for taking the time to leave this kind note. I am so happy that everyone enjoyed it. I know exactly what you mean – pleasing 4 people is hard enough, add two more and I applaud you for your efforts 🙂
We loved this! It was easy, economical, and still felt “special.” Even my super-picky 5-year-old gobbled it up. Thanks for another winning recipe for my family!
Thanks for your kind words, Nicci! So glad you, your family and especially your little one enjoyed this! You are so sweet! Blessings, Kelly
Hi, I want to make this but with drumsticks and thighs is the temp. and time be the same? Thanks
In general, thighs are roasted at a slightly lower temp, but I have roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks together many times. Just start with the lower end of the bake time and check the chicken for doneness. You can check with a meat thermometer for most accurate results, or simply poke chicken with a fork and if the juices run clear, that generally means it’s done. If the thighs are done, but the drumsticks are not, you can always pop those back in for a few more minutes. But again, I’ve generally found that they bake well together. 🙂
Wow thank you Mrs. Kelly I would definitely be looking more at your recipes. It was delicious! And thanks for your response.
you are so welcome! blessings to you! 🙂
At what temp should I roast the chicken legs and veggies?
425 degrees. See step number 1. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Loved the recipe . I used fresh seasonings which made the flavor POP! Thank you
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Fresh herbs are always a delicious option! 🙂
