Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the herb marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer if time permits.
Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pour the chicken broth around the drumsticks on the baking sheet to create a moist cooking environment.
Place the drumsticks in the oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the drumsticks with any remaining juices from the baking sheet drizzled over them for added flavor.
