Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces skin-on chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the spices blend evenly.
- Add the olive oil to the spice mix and stir until you create a paste-like coating.
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Use your hands or a spoon to rub the spice mixture over each drumstick, ensuring an even coating.
- Arrange the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, leaving space in between for air circulation.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin turns deeply golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added crunch, consider broiling the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces and side dishes.
