Servings Drumsticks

Ingredients

6 Chicken Drumsticks skin on
1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
5 Cloves Garlic (halved if big)
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Fresh Basil or Parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with clean paper towel.
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Toss the drumsticks in the mixture, making sure each drumstick is well-coated.
Place the cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss lightly to coat.
Place the seasoned chicken drumsticks on the same baking sheet or dish as the tomatoes. Arrange them so the chicken has room to crisp up, and the tomatoes are surrounding them.
Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken drumsticks are golden, crispy, and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cherry tomatoes should be soft and bursting with flavour by the time the chicken is ready.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of colour and extra flavour. Serve the drumsticks with the burst cherry tomatoes spooned on top or on the side.

Notes

Throw in some zucchini or bell peppers if you want extra low-carb veggies.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy twist!
