Ingredients

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

3 tbsp sunflower oil

1 level tbsp apricot jam

1 kg pack chicken drumsticks

600g baby new potatoes, halved or quartered, depending on their size

2 courgettes, thickly sliced

2 red peppers, de-seeded and cut into chunks

1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges

150g pack baby carrots, green tops trimmed and halved lengthways

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Mix the balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp oil and apricot jam in a large freezer bag. Make cuts in the fleshy parts of the drumsticks, then put in the bag with the marinade. Turn to coat. Leave for 10 minutes.
2
Put the potatoes in a pan of cold water, cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 8 minutes, then drain.
3
Transfer the chicken drumsticks to a roasting tin (or two small tins).
4
Put the drained potatoes, courgettes, peppers, onion and baby carrots in a bowl and toss them in the rest of the oil until completely coated. Add to the chicken drumsticks and bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
