Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks and thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them well until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Place the chicken pieces on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between the pieces for even cooking.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pats and place them on top of the chicken pieces for added moisture and richness.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
