This chicken drumsticks and cabbage dinner cooked in a roasting bag is weeknight genius. Everything goes into one bag, the oven does the work, and the drumsticks come out juicy while the cabbage soaks up all the savory juices. One pan, almost no cleanup, and a full satisfying meal.

Tips

- Open the bag carefully at the end; the trapped steam is very hot.
- Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle.
