Crispy Baked Chicken Drumsticks

Servings: 4
Author: Victoria

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs dried
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp bouillon

Instructions

  • Wash your chicken legs well and then place them on a cooking sheet uniformly, single layered.
  • Marinade with spices and drizzled oil for at least 2 hours in fridge, though overnight would work best.
  • When ready, preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Reapply more oil and herbs to ensure ultimate crispiness to the outer shell after marinated.
  • Line your baking pan with foil and if possible, top it with a wire rack to allow the juices to drop while the chicken drums are cooking.
  • On a single layer, arrange the chicken pieces.
  • Once the oven has completed preheating, pop your chicken pieces in to cook. Place them in oven’s the middle rack, if possible, to allow even cooking from all sides.
    Note: Make sure your baking rack is deep enough that any caught oil will not spill over.
  • Allow your chicken legs to bake for a total of 45-50 minutes, rotating halfway through in between.
  • Once they're done and nicely crispy, serve with your favorite sauce and sides.
