Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Chicken Drumsticks About 8-10 pieces
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Optional Toppings
  • BBQ sauce For serving
  • Fresh herbs For serving
  • Lemon slices For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss the drumsticks in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
  4. Place the seasoned drumsticks on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Enjoy them hot with your favorite toppings!

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken drumsticks overnight in the seasoning mix. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure they get crispy.
