Pan Roasted Spanish-Lemon Drumsticks With Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 pounds bone-in chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon paprika
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
2 pounds red potatoes
2 lemons, thinly sliced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Mix chicken with paprika, half of the olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the salt, and half of the pepper together in a bowl until evenly coated. Toss potatoes with remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl; add lemon slices and toss well.
Arrange chicken in a roasting pan and surround chicken with potatoes and lemon slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes; rotate and flip chicken and potatoes. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
