Simple meals can be the most comforting dinners over fancy recipes.  This crispy oven roasted chicken drumsticks with vegetables is just that – simple and comforting.  You can achieve crispy chicken just by oven roasting and the carrots and onions caramelize as they roast giving them the most tender sweetest flavors.  Add a baked potato or a side salad and dinner is ready.  

Pro Tip:  to get the the chicken crispy, it is important to pat the chicken legs dry with a paper towel before adding the seasoning.  Dry chicken legs produce that crispy flavorful skin that tastes so good.  Not taking this step will leave the chicken skin pretty bland and totally not crispy at all.  

How to Make Oven Roasted Chicken Drumsticks

Space oven racks equal distance in oven.  You will be using both racks for this recipe. Preheat oven to 425° F.  Grab two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper.  Set aside.

Place prepared sliced carrots and onions on one of the baking sheets and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Spread vegetables into a single layer and set aside.

Place a metal baking rack (cooling rack) on the other baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Pat drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. Sprinkle on all sides with 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons garlic salt, 2 teaspoons onion salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper and arrange seasoned drumsticks on baking rack.

Place both baking sheets into preheated oven, with chicken on the upper rack. Roast for 20 minutes, then rotate both baking sheets and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165°F and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. (Depending on your oven and how thin you sliced the vegetables, they may be done a little sooner).

Remove each baking sheet from oven when ready and transfer chicken to a serving platter. Loosely cover chicken with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with roasted root vegetables.
