Step 3 Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken drumsticks.

Step 4 Place chicken on a baking tray and roast for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 5 Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.

Step 6 Drain the potatoes, then mash with butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7 In a pan, melt butter and add carrots. Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until tender.

Step 8 Sprinkle sugar over the carrots and cook for another 2–3 minutes until lightly glazed.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat chicken in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.

Mashed potatoes can be reheated with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.

Carrots can be reheated in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
