Garlic Onion Chicken Drumsticks. Flavourful garlicky chicken drumsticks coated with cornstarch and roasted with red onions. A delicious side for dinner. Great for leftovers or as meal prep. Ready in 40 minutes.

Easy to make!
This super easy garlic onion chicken recipe is one that you will keep making because it's so delicious and very simple!
It takes 10 minutes (not even!) to prep and 35 minutes in the oven! So it's a great side dish to make for meal preparation or when you're looking for a simple meat dish.
The cornstarch coating really makes the skin more crispier and gives it more texture. The garlic and onion seasoning really enhances the taste of these drumsticks too. It almost reminds me of Shake n' Bake.
I remember when I was young I had a lot of Shake N' Bake. It was something my mother relied on a lot as one of those quick and easy meals that satisfied the whole family. When it was down to the last wing, I remember we'd all be eyeing it. I would always be the first to politely ask, "Would anyone else like to have the last wing?" so that I could have it one last time haha!
So that's my story on how this garlic onion and chicken came to be! I also share other chicken recipes so don't forget to check them out!
