Meat - Chicken drumsticks with new potatoes in the oven by Draga J. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious oven-baked chicken drumstick recipe, we start by washing the chicken drumsticks well with cold water. This step is essential to ensure that all impurities are removed and that the meat will be fresh. After washing them, we make a few incisions on their surface with a knife. These cuts will allow the spices to penetrate better into the meat, giving it a more intense flavor. The next step is to prepare the baking tray. We grease a tray with oil, making sure it is evenly covered to prevent sticking. We place the drumsticks in the tray, taking care to leave a little space between them for air to circulate well during baking. Seasoning is key to achieving a tasty meal. We sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, then add sweet paprika, which will give a beautiful color and a smoky flavor. Meat spices are optional, but they add extra flavor, so feel free to use them. Soy sauce will add an umami note, and mixing with your hands will ensure an even distribution of the spices over the meat's surface. Besides the drumsticks, we clean and cut the potatoes into suitable pieces, the carrot into rounds, and the garlic in half. We place the vegetables in the tray, among the drumsticks, and sprinkle a small amount of salt over the potatoes to enhance their flavor. We add a mixture of white wine and water, which will help cook the meat and vegetables while providing a deep flavor. After we finish preparing all the ingredients, we cover the tray with aluminum foil. This will keep the moisture inside, ensuring even cooking. We place the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and let it bake covered for 30 minutes. After this time, we remove the foil and let the drumsticks brown nicely for another 15-20 minutes until they become golden and crispy. Finally, we take the tray out of the oven and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. We enjoy these delicious drumsticks alongside a fresh spinach and green onion salad, which brings a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors. Enjoy your meal!
