Herb Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Mashed Potatoes & Carrots

How to Make It:

Bake the Chicken Drumsticks:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss drumsticks with olive oil, garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes until golden and crispy. This gives you juicy, flavorful chicken every time.

Cook the Carrots:

Steam or boil baby carrots until tender. Toss with butter, honey (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Sweet, savory, and the perfect veggie sidekick.

Make the Mashed Potatoes:

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Mash with butter, warm milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy. These fluffy potatoes are the ultimate base for comfort food dinners.

Plate It Up:

Serve baked chicken drumsticks alongside mashed potatoes with a pat of butter and glazed carrots on the side. Sprinkle parsley on top for that homemade dinner win.
