Roast Chicken Drumsticks with Carrots Potatoes and Onions

EASY!

I cut an onion in 1/4 inch slices and put in roasting pan, center. Quartered 4 potatoes and one VERY large carrot 🥕 or 2, cut equal to size of potatoes and put them in a bowl, drizzled with evoo, salt, pepper, garlic powder, tossed in bowl and added to roasting pan, around onion. Then I put chicken drumsticks in same bowl, drizzled with evoo, added salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Adobe seasoning and an all-purpose seasoning. Tossed well and added to roasting pan. Put in 425° oven for 30 – 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Typically I go by when chicken reached internal temperature of 165°, but because thighs and drumsticks don’t dry out like breasts, I went by when carrots were tender. Was about 10 minutes after chicken was 165° 🤷‍♀️🤭😋

My granddaughter picked up carrots for me; I have never in my life seen carrots this huge!

Carrots 🥕

😱

Another time…I didn’t want to dirty another pan, but I had both drumsticks & thighs, so I packed in 🤣 it was still good 😋

Those veggies are buried 🤭

Bollito or Brodo di Carne… there are many variations of this dish depending on the region of Italy that you visit. But this is how Nonna Romana makes it.

Ingredients

For 4 Person(s) (site offers recipes based on number of persons)

For the Bollito:

  • 2 1/2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 12 cups water
  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 2 large potatoes) peeled and quartered

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt

  1. Trim the excess fat off of the short ribs with a knife and set aside.

I used beef soup bones and a top round steak this time; we like the amount and tenderness of the beef 😋 

The first time I did use short ribs 😁 ⤵️
