Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and dried parsley into a seasoning blend.
Step 4: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the drumsticks and toss until fully coated.
Step 5: Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through.
Step 6: While the chicken roasts, prepare the fries according to package directions until crispy and golden.
Step 7: Assemble your salad with mixed greens, cucumber slices, tomato wedges, and red onion for a fresh contrast.
Step 8: Pour ketchup and honey mustard into small serving bowls for dipping.
Step 9: Plate everything together with the drumsticks as the star, fries on the side, and salad for freshness.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover drumsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They make excellent cold snacks straight from the fridge or can be quickly reheated.
To reheat, place drumsticks on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
Fries are best enjoyed fresh, but any leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer until crispy. Keep salad separate and assemble just before serving for maximum freshness.
