Pan Roasted Spanish-Lemon Drumsticks with Potatoes Recipe

Pan Roasted Spanish-Lemon Drumsticks with Potatoes Recipe

  • 3 pounds bone-in chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Mix chicken with paprika, half of the olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the salt, and half of the pepper together in a bowl until evenly coated. Toss potatoes with remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl; add lemon slices and toss well.
  3. Arrange chicken in a roasting pan and surround chicken with potatoes and lemon slices.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes; rotate and flip chicken and potatoes. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
