  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped in big chunks)
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives

  • 6 gold potatoes (quartered)
  • ¼ cup olive oil (divided)
  • 6-8 chicken drumsticks (patted dry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Mix paprika, oregano, sumac, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. In a large baking dish, put garlic, onion, olives, and potatoes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top, followed by ⅓ of the seasoning mixture. Mix until the veggies are well-coated.
  4. Add the chicken drumsticks, remaining oil, and seasonings. Mix until the chicken is completely coated.
  5. Arrange everything in a single layer, nestling the chicken between the veggies. Evenly place lemon slices over the ingredients.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170°F.
  7. Remove the foil and place the baking dish under the broiler for 5 minutes, or just until the skin crisps up. Be careful not to let it burn!
  8. Let it rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your delicious meal!
