Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • Chicken drumsticks (leg pieces)

How to Make Easy Roast Chicken & Potatoes

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, add:

  • Yogurt

  • Chicken tikka masala

  • Lemon juice

Mix well until smooth. Add the chicken drumsticks and coat each piece properly.
👉 Tip: Marinate overnight for best flavor, but even 15 minutes works if you’re short on time.

Step 2: Preheat & Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Potato Wedges

After 20 minutes, add potato wedges to the same tray. Toss them lightly in oil, salt, and a little spice if you like.

Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until:

  • Chicken is golden and cooked through

  • Potatoes are crispy and roasted

Step 4: Serve

Serve hot straight from the oven.
Pair it with:

  • Fresh salad

  • Garlic sauce or yogurt dip

  • Flatbread or dinner rolls

Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t overcrowd the tray — space helps crisping

  • Turn potatoes once halfway if needed

  • Use thick yogurt for better coating

  • Add chili flakes for extra heat

Make It Your Own

  • Swap drumsticks for chicken thighs

  • Add carrots or bell peppers

  • Use air fryer for faster cooking

  • Make it spicy with extra masala

Final Thoughts

This is truly the easiest roast recipe ever — no complicated steps, no stress, just comforting homemade food that everyone loves. Perfect for cozy dinners and lazy evenings when you still want something delicious on the table.
