Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them in the herb mixture until thoroughly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor. If you have more time, let it marinate for up to 2 hours.
Arrange the marinated drumsticks in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
