Recipe Link

3 -3 ½ pound chicken drumsticks

1-¼ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 teaspoon bouillon powder (you may replace with salt)

¼ cup canola oil

4-6 garlic cloves minced

2-Tablespoons onion powder

1 Tablespoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

3-4 Tablespoons fresh herbs(thyme, parsley, oregano)

1 pound or more green beans and carrots or any vegetables

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 425°.

Wash chicken legs dry, rub with salt , white pepper and bouillon powder and set aside. 

In a small pan set over medium low heat, combine canola oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper . Stir for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Let this mixture sit for a little bit about 5 minutes.

Place the chicken in a large bowl, toss with garlic paprika spice mix, then sprinkle with the onion powder. 

Line a baking pan with foil; Add vegetables at the bottom, top with a wire rack. Arrange chicken legs out in a single layer. Bake chicken legs until cooked through and skin is crispy, about 45-50 minutes. If desired rotate chicken halfway through-roughly 25 minutes. Remove chicken and vegetables.

Serve with rice: I cooked the rice in chicken broth with the addition of ground tumeric to taste. After rice finished cooking, added frozen peas and allowed them to heat through on "warm" until time to serve.
