Instructions
- Combine 2 tbsp olive oil with 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl. Add 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp turmeric, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything forms a paste.
- Pat 3 chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Generously coat each drumstick with the spice mixture on all sides. Place on a lined baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cut 3 large potatoes into fries of even thickness. Toss lightly with salt and pepper. Place on a separate baking sheet and bake at 400°F alongside the chicken until golden and crispy, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Place 2 cups lettuce on a plate as the base. Arrange 1 tomato cut into wedges and 0.5 red onion sliced on top. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp lemon juice just before serving, then toss gently.
- Arrange the roasted drumsticks, crispy fries, and fresh salad on a plate, dividing the space so each component has room. Serve while the chicken and fries are still warm and the salad is crisp and cold.

Notes
Pat the drumsticks dry before applying the spice rub for better adhesion and crispier skin. Cut fries to even thickness so they cook uniformly. Keep the salad dressing separate until just before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting. For extra crispiness, you can parboil the fries for 5 minutes before roasting.
