Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the herb mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the sheet.
Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the drumsticks halfway through cooking for even browning.
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the drumsticks hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides.
