- 1/8 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Prep:
Make a few cuts into the flesh of the chicken drumsticks, so the seasonings can get better absorbed.
Use a large, sharpened knife to cut the sausage into 1-inch chunks.
Remove the carrot tops and roots, then peel away the skin with a peeler. Cut the peeled carrot in half crosswise. Split in half lengthwise.
Halve the radish lengthwise.
Finely chop the parsley.
Cook:
Microwave the vegetables: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add 20 oz skin-on halved baby potatoes, 6 oz halved radish, and 4 oz carrots. Microwave at ‘high’ for 7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the microwave.
Marinate the chicken drumsticks: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place 20 oz skin-on, bone-in chicken drumsticks on the tray. Season the drumsticks with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp oregano. Gently massage the seasonings on all sides of the drumsticks.
Add the vegetables: On the same baking tray, add the microwaved baby potatoes, radish, carrots, and 6 oz smoked sausages. With a cooking brush, evenly distribute 2 tbsp olive oil on all the ingredients.
Bake all the ingredients: Place the baking tray in a preheated oven. Bake the chicken and sausage dish at 475° F for 35 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Garnish and serve: Transfer each chicken drumstick on a serving plate. Arrange the sausage and vegetables on the side of the chicken. Garnish the dish with 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Enjoy!
