Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks skin on
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel and place drumsticks in a large bowl.
- Using a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Add spice mixture to the bowl with the drumsticks; toss until well coated.
- Using a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the drumsticks and toss until well coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Flip drumsticks over and continue baking for 20-25 more minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Note: Make sure the meat thermometer is not touching bone as that will give an inaccurate reading.)
- Turn broiler on high and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until drumsticks are golden brown and crispy.
