- Chicken: 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lbs / 900 g), 2 tbsp olive oil
- Ranch Seasoning: 1½ tsp dried dill, 1½ tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp dried chives, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper
- Green Beans: 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans, trimmed, 1½ tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: Mix Seasoning
- In a small bowl, mix together all ranch seasoning ingredients: dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Season Chicken
- Pat chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the ranch seasoning. Toss until the drumsticks are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Arrange Chicken
- Arrange the drumsticks on one half of the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Step 5: Season Vegetables
- In another bowl, toss green beans with 1½ tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Spread green beans on the other half of the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Step 6: Bake
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the drumsticks and stirring the green beans halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C) and the green beans are lightly browned and tender.
- Step 7: Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken drumsticks for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking. Make sure to pat the chicken dry before oiling to help the seasoning stick and the skin crisp up.
