  • 5 lb chicken drumsticks
Put the chicken drumsticks in a bowl. Halve the baby potatoes and add them.
Why bone-in drumsticks
  • 1½ lb baby golden potatoes
  • garlic cloves
  • olive oil
  • 1 whole lemon
  • red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ tsp salt
Make the marinade: garlic, olive oil, the juice of a lemon, red wine vinegar, a heaping tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, about 1.5 tsp salt and black pepper. Whisk.
  • salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
Sprinkle more salt over the chicken and potatoes, pour the marinade over and toss to coat.
  • 1 whole bell pepper
  • 1 whole red onion
  • crushed red pepper flakes
Spread in one even layer on a big sheet pan. Dice a bell pepper and a red onion and tuck them into the gaps. Add crushed red pepper flakes, and more salt and pepper if wanted.
Roast on the center rack at 425F (up to 450F for a weak oven) for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • feta cheese
  • pitted Kalamata olives
Crumble in feta and add pitted Kalamata olives; return to the oven about 10 minutes, until the feta melts and the potatoes are fork tender.
Feta and olives for the last ten minutes
Take the tray out and flip the chicken pieces so they cook evenly.
  • parsley
  • lemon wedges
Top with finely chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
