INGREDIENTS
2 chicken drumsticks (240g total)
1/2 medium cucumber (100g)
1 medium tomato (123g)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning once halfway through cooking for even browning.
While the chicken cooks, slice the cucumber (using about half a medium cucumber) and dice the tomato. Combine them in a bowl.
Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes. Plate the drumsticks alongside the crunchy cucumber and tomato salad and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
