Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a large sheet pan, season the chicken on both sides with salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Cut four 18 x 12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil and lay on a flat surface. Place ¾ cup frozen mixed vegetables in the center of each piece of foil. Place 1 drumstick and 1 thigh on top of the vegetables in the middle of each foil packet. Brush the chicken with ¼ cup of BBQ sauce.
Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food, then double-fold them, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Double-fold the two short ends to seal the packet tight, so no steam escapes.
Rinse and dry the sheet pan used for seasoning the chicken and place the foil packets on it. until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, about 50-55 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully open the foil packets and brush the chicken with the remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce.
With the foil left open, return to the oven and bake until the sauce starts to form a crust on the chicken and the edges start to brown, about 5 minutes.
