Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken drumsticks
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes washed and dried
- 1 pound baby carrots bagged
- 2 tbsp chicken gravy mix
- 1 tsp parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp thyme leaves
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
To Freeze:
- Arrange vegetables in bottom of 9 x 13 foil pan.
- In small bowl, whisk gravy mix into chicken broth. Pour over vegetables.
- Place chicken legs in single layer on top of vegetables in pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Dust chicken legs evenly with parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary.
- Cover pan tightly with foil lid or piece of cut foil, then a layer of plastic wrap. Label pan and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen or thaw in refrigerator up to 48 hours ahead before baking.
To Bake Now or from Thawed:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove the plastic wrap (if baking from thawed). Leave the top of the pan covered with the foil.
- Bake on center rack of oven for 45 minutes covered. Remove foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes uncovered until chicken is at least 165°F when a meat thermometer is inserted in the thickest part of the leg and the vegetables are tender. Remember - ovens and chicken leg size may vary so your chicken may take a longer or shorter time to cook.
- Remove chicken from pan and stir vegetables to coat with gravy. Serve immediately with any remaining gravy on the side.
