Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure each drumstick is coated.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the drumsticks and toss again until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to crowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish with your favorite low-carb sides.
