Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low carb BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice and oil mixture.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the drumsticks on it, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush them with the low-carb BBQ sauce.
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the drumsticks reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
