Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp chili flakes optional
- 1 tbsp lemon juice optional for extra flavor
- Fresh rosemary or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Season the Drumsticks: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, and chili flakes. Toss the drumsticks in the seasoning until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Rest & Serve: Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, broil the drumsticks for the last 3-5 minutes.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
- Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
