These baked chicken drumsticks are seasoned to perfection and roasted until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining juicy and tender on the inside. A quick and easy meal perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
  2. Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the chicken and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can marinate the chicken with the seasoning blend for a few hours for extra flavor.
  • Switch up the spices for a different flavor profile—try Cajun, BBQ, or lemon pepper.
  • For extra crispy skin, broil the drumsticks for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
