Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a spice blend.
Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the drumsticks, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the drumsticks and use your hands to toss them, making sure each drumstick is fully seasoned.
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious keto oven-baked drumsticks!
