Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a kitchen towel.

Make slits on both sides of the chicken drumsticks to help the marinade penetrate.

In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon mixed herbs, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper.

Mix the seasonings well to create a flavorful seasoning mix.

Generously rub the seasoning mix over the chicken drumsticks, focusing on the slits.

Add the juice of half a lemon and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the chicken drumsticks and rub it in.

Let the chicken rest for at least 1 hour.

Slice 5 to 6 small potatoes in half and transfer them to a bowl.

Slice 1 carrot diagonally and add it to the bowl with the potatoes.

Sprinkle a teaspoon of the seasoning mix over the potatoes and carrots, and drizzle a few drops of olive oil. Coat well and let rest for 10 minutes.

Slice 1 medium to large onion and prepare fresh rosemary and 4 to 5 large garlic pods to enhance flavor.

Drizzle olive oil in an oven-safe dish and brush it on all sides.

Place the marinated chicken drumsticks in the dish, then add the sliced onions, potatoes, carrots, and whole garlic pods around them.

Top with fresh rosemary.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 45 to 50 minutes.
