Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken drumsticks and thighs, and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Arrange Chicken on Baking Tray

    Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Sides Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Corn on the Cob

    While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and ranch dressing. Toss until the mix is evenly coated.

Tortillas Preparation

    Warm the Tortillas
