Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Drumsticks
- Pat the drumsticks dry with tissue so the seasoning sticks better to the skin.
Mix the Marinade
- Combine oil, lemon, spices and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix until smooth and fragrant.
Coat the Chicken
- Add drumsticks to the bowl. Rub the marinade over each piece until fully coated well.
Rest the Chicken
- Let the seasoned drumsticks rest ten minutes. This helps flavors soak deeply into the chicken.
Preheat the Oven
- Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment for easy cleanup.
Place Drumsticks on Tray
- Set drumsticks on the tray. Leave space between each piece for even heat and crisp skin.
Bake Until Crispy
- Bake for 35 minutes. Flip halfway through so both sides get crispy and golden brown.
Check Doneness
- Check that the chicken is cooked. Juices should run clear when you cut near the bone.
Serve Hot
- Serve the drumsticks warm. The skin should be crispy and full of bold flavor.
Notes
- Dry the drumsticks before seasoning.
- Use fresh lemon for better flavor.
- Flip the chicken halfway through.
- Do not overcrowd the tray.
- Use paprika for color and taste.
