Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Add celery, onion, potatoes, and carrots to a large-rimmed sheet pan or roasting dish. Drizzle olive oil on the vegetables, and stir to coat.
Add chicken drumsticks and halved lemon to the sheet pan with the veggies.
In a small bowl, stir together the Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken and vegetables. Stir the vegetables around again to evenly coat.
Sprinkle the butter cubes over a few spots on the pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.*
Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the juice from the roasted lemons over the veggies. Garnish with fresh parsley (if using). Enjoy!
Notes
If you’re using baby potatoes, you can leave them whole (if small) or halve them for this recipe. If using Yukon gold, red, or other larger potatoes, chop them.
*If desired, during the last few minutes of baking, you can turn on the broiler to high to crisp up the skin. If so, keep a close eye to avoid burning the skin.
