Epic One-Pan Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Herbed Potatoes & Peppers is a simple, hearty meal made entirely on a sheet pan. Juicy chicken, tender potatoes, and sweet bell peppers roast together with herbs, garlic, and olive oil for a flavorful, no-fuss dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 6–8 chicken drumsticks
  2. 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  3. 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  4. 1 small red onion, sliced (optional)
  5. 3 tbsp olive oil
  6. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  7. 1 tsp dried oregano
  8. 1 tsp dried thyme
  9. 1 tsp paprika
  10. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  11. Fresh parsley or rosemary, for garnish (optional)
  12. Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss chicken drumsticks with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, toss baby potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion (if using) with remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange chicken drumsticks on the baking sheet. Spread potatoes and peppers around the chicken in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping chicken and tossing vegetables halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender.
  6. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Pat chicken dry before seasoning to promote browning and crispiness.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Customize vegetables based on seasonality or preferences (e.g., zucchini, carrots, tomatoes).
  • Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried — triple the amount and add near the end of cooking.
  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier meat.
