Roasted Chicken Drumsticks with Fries and Fresh Salad

Instructions

Step 1: Peel and cut the potatoes into fries, rinse them under cold water, and pat dry thoroughly.

Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and lightly season with salt.

Step 3: Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Step 4: In a bowl, season the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 5: Arrange the chicken drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until fully cooked and nicely browned.

Step 7: Prepare the salad by arranging lettuce, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on serving plates.

Step 8: Place the roasted chicken drumsticks, crispy fries, fresh salad, and mayonnaise or garlic sauce on serving plates.

Step 9: Garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 10: Serve immediately while the chicken and fries are hot.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the salad and dipping sauce refrigerated separately for freshness.

Reheat the chicken and fries in an oven or air fryer at 180°C for 5 to 10 minutes until heated through and crispy. The salad and sauce are best served cold and should not be reheated.
