Preparation

Cooking
  1. Spread the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through.
  2. While chicken bakes, slice potatoes into even strips, toss with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake or fry until golden brown and crispy, about 25-30 minutes.
