Method
Preheat oven to 220°C. Place drumsticks and potatoes in a single layer in a large roasting pan. Combine stock and tomato paste in a small saucepan over a mediumlow heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Combine rosemary, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle garlic over chicken and potatoes. Pour stock mixture into base of roasting pan (do not pour over chicken). Drizzle oil over chicken and potatoes. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Just a roast chicken with roast potato, sweet potato, whole garlic, pumpkin and steamed carrot and silver beet. The gravy is just a pan gravy. I stuffed the cavity with half a lemon, lemon thyme, whole garlic and rosemary, rubbed olive oil, garlic, lemon thyme, rosemary, soy sauce, and black pepper and roasted it on 160°C for about 2 hours (last 30 min covered)
