Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Toss the potato wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread them out on a tray and roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway until they are golden and crispy.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken drumsticks with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  5. Place them on a lined baking tray and roast for 25 minutes.
Cooking
  1. In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and chili flakes (if using).
  2. Brush this mixture generously over the chicken and return it to the oven for another 10–15 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is sticky and caramelized (internal temperature should reach 75°C/167°F).
Assembly
  1. When the chicken is close to finishing, prepare the salad by combining the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl.
  2. Once everything is cooked, arrange the roasted potatoes, glazed chicken, and fresh salad on a large platter.
  3. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges and extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the BBQ sauce mixture for a few hours before cooking. Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist. Feel free to customize your salad with your favorite vegetables or dressings.
