Instructions

Before you start

  1. Peel and mince 6 cloves garlic Add the garlic, ½ cup lemon juice, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 ½ tsp paprika and 1 tbsp olive oil to a large bowl. Then add 1 kilogram chicken drumsticks, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.

Prep veggies

  1. Peel and slice 2 carrot into 1cm thick rounds. Slice 1 red capsicum into chunks. Wash and dice 400 g potatoes and 400 g sweet potatoes into 2cm cubes. Peel and slice 1 red onion into thin wedges. Place carrot, capsicum, potatoes, sweet potato and red onion in the baking tray. Top with the chicken drumsticks and pour over 1 cup chicken stock and the marinade from the bowl.
    Tip: You may need two baking trays - switch them over halfway so they cook evenly.

To finish

  1. Meanwhile, roughly chop 2 cup baby spinach. Once the tray bake is finished cooking, toss through the chopped spinach to wilt.

To serve
