  • 1 tsp vinegar

Instructions

Preparation

  • Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  • In a bowl, rub drumsticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lay them out on one side of the baking sheet.
  • In another bowl, toss your potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer beside the drumsticks.

Cooking

  • Slide everything into the oven. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through.
  • Check that the chicken is golden and cooked through (juices should run clear).

Salads

  • While the oven does its thing, toss cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl. Add feta, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and gently toss again.
  • Combine cabbage and carrot in a big bowl. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a cup, then dress and toss the veggies.

Serving

  • Plate your chicken, potato wedges, Greek salad, and coleslaw. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top for a pop of zest.

Notes

Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving to reabsorb its juices. Mix coleslaw just before serving to keep it bright and crunchy.
