Sticky BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Crispy Fries & Creamy Coleslaw

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.
