Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Arrange the marinated drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired, alongside a side of your choice such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
