Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels, then place them in a bowl.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Step 4: Toss the drumsticks with 2 tbsp olive oil, then coat generously with the BBQ sauce mixture.
Step 5: Arrange drumsticks on the baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, basting halfway through, until caramelized and cooked through.
Step 6: While the chicken cooks, toss cut potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7: Spread fries on a separate baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
Step 8: For the coleslaw, combine shredded cabbage and carrot in a bowl.
Step 9: Whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step 10: Pour dressing over cabbage and carrot, then toss until well coated.
Step 11: Arrange drumsticks, fries, and coleslaw on a plate and serve immediately.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover drumsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
Crispy fries are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for one day and recrisp them in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
Keep coleslaw separate from other components and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. It may become slightly softer but remains delicious.
