Description
Crispy, seasoned chicken drumsticks baked to perfection with minimal ingredients and effort.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the chicken: In a large bowl, add the drumsticks and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss until every piece is well coated.
- Arrange for roasting: Place the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them so heat can circulate.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp.
Notes
For best results, check the thickest part of the chicken; it should reach at least 165°F (74°C). Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
