Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the drumsticks and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can broil the drumsticks for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching them closely to prevent burning.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
