Description
A delicious meal featuring tender grilled chicken drumsticks, crispy potato wedges, and a fresh veggie medley, perfect for summer cookouts or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2 cups mixed fresh veggies (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
- Chopped parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken.
- Prep the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into wedges and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Get grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the marinated chicken on the grill grates.
- Roast your wedges: While the chicken is grilling, spread the potato wedges on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- Grill those veggies: In the last 10 minutes, toss your fresh veggies on the grill until just tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the magic: Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before serving with crispy potato wedges and grilled veggies.
Notes
For extra crispy potato wedges, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting. Feel free to drizzle some balsamic glaze or your favorite hot sauce over the veggies for added flavor.
