1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking dish with baking paper. Mix mustard and half the lemon juice and half the zest together. Spread over chicken drumsticks and place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
2 Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Line another baking dish with baking paper and add chickpeas and cherry tomatoes. Spray with oil. Place in the oven for 25 minutes, until chickpeas are golden and slightly crispy and tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelised.
