Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the drumsticks cook evenly and allow excess fat to drip off.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Step 4
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are completely coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help retain the juices.
Step 8
Serve the drumsticks warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
