Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced plus 2 more cloves left whole
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. To begin, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the chicken drumsticks generously with the BBQ sauce mixture, making sure to coat them well on all sides.
  3. Arrange the coated drumsticks on one side of the prepared baking sheet. On the other side, place the onion wedges, whole garlic cloves, potato chunks, lemon slices, and fresh rosemary sprigs. Drizzle them with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and golden brown. Remember to flip the chicken drumsticks halfway through cooking and baste them with the remaining BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
  5. Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of freshness and color.

Notes

Make sure to spread the ingredients in a single layer on the sheet pan to ensure even cooking. The addition of lemon slices and rosemary adds a burst of citrusy and herby flavors to the dish. This delicious meal pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the flavors. You can also serve it with some crusty bread or roasted sweet potatoes for a complete dinner. Enjoy!
