A comforting and satisfying meal featuring herb-baked chicken drumsticks, creamy mashed potatoes, and honey-glazed carrots. This plate is hearty, savory, and sure to warm your soul.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Drumsticks:

  • 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Carrots:

  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for a glaze)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake the Chicken Drumsticks: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss drumsticks with olive oil, garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes until golden and crispy. This gives you juicy, flavorful chicken every time.
  2. Cook the Carrots: Steam or boil baby carrots until tender. Toss with butter, honey (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Sweet, savory, and the perfect veggie sidekick.
  3. Make the Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Mash with butter, warm milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy. These fluffy potatoes are the ultimate base for comfort food dinners.
  4. Plate It Up: Serve baked chicken drumsticks alongside mashed potatoes with a pat of butter and glazed carrots on the side. Sprinkle parsley on top for that homemade dinner win.
