Baked Chicken With Bell Peppers and Onions

Baked chicken with peppers and onions is a delightful dish worthy of any dinner table. Chicken drumsticks with bell peppers and onions are cooked together in a sheet pan for a flavorful and delicious meal. I love serving it with the gravy over rice although you can serve it with any other side dish.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg (2lb) Chicken drumsticks
  • 1 large Bell pepper
  • 1 large Onion
  • 1/2 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 5g Stock cube crushed

Equipment

  • Baking tray

Method
 

  1. Clean and pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels then set aside.
  2. Rinse, dry, and cut the bell peppers into slices.
    Cut the onions into similar sizes as the bell pepper.
  3. Transfer the sliced bell peppers and onions to a baking tray.
    Add the chicken drumsticks to the tray.
    Pour in the olive oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, crushed stock cube, black pepper, salt, and tomato paste.
  4. Mix the seasonings with the chicken, peppers, and onions till they are well coated in the seasoning mix.
  5. Spread the chicken drumsticks on the peppers and onions.
    Put the tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Flip the drumsticks after 25 minutes.
    How long to bake chicken drumsticks in the oven at 400F /200C is 45-50 minutes. If baked at a lower temperature it might take longer to cook.
    The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F for food safety so it's best to check with an instant thermometer to be sure.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve with your choice of sides.
