Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated in the spice mixture.
Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even roasting.
Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time for optimal crispiness.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the drumsticks hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired, for an inviting keto-friendly meal.
