Rustic Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Herbed Veggies

Finishing Touches & Serving

Garnish and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley just before serving for a pop of colour and brightness. Serve warm, directly from the baking dish or plated individually with generous spoonfuls of both chicken and roasted vegetables.

Vegetable additions: Add chopped onions, parsnips, or bell peppers for extra depth and sweetness.
For crispier skin: Switch the oven to broil during the last 4–5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Spice it up: Add chili flakes or swap paprika for smoked paprika for a hint of heat and smokiness.
Make-ahead tip: Marinate the chicken and chop the vegetables ahead of time. Store separately in the fridge and assemble just before baking.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy texture of the chicken and caramelisation on the vegetables.

This rustic chicken dinner is a no-fuss, all-flavour recipe you’ll come back to again and again—comforting, colourful, and incredibly satisfying.
