INGREDIENTS

2 large chicken drumsticks

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp fresh rosemary

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 cup asparagus spears

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Pat the chicken drumsticks thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin becomes golden and crispy during roasting.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Rub the garlic-herb mixture generously over all sides of the chicken drumsticks and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Roast the chicken in the center of the oven for 20 minutes.

• 6

  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the trimmed asparagus spears to the pan, tossing them lightly in the juices from the chicken.

• 7

  Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 8

  Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and asparagus before serving to brighten the flavors.
