Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drumsticks to the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated with the spice mixture.
Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.
Serve the keto baked chicken drumsticks with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a crisp salad.
