INGREDIENTS

1.5 large chicken drumsticks

0.25 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

1.5 cups broccoli florets

0.5 medium red bell pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper if you are not using an oven-safe skillet.

• 2

  Pat the chicken drumsticks thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure the skin sears perfectly and becomes crisp.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

• 4

  Rub the spice blend evenly over all sides of the chicken drumsticks.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Add the drumsticks to the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.

• 7

  While the chicken is searing, toss the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper in a bowl with the extra virgin olive oil.

• 8

  Arrange the seasoned vegetables in the skillet around the chicken, or transfer everything to your prepared baking sheet.

• 9

  Place the skillet or baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the meat remains juicy.
