Directions

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir into a thick paste.
Pat the drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Brush or massage the seasoning paste all over the chicken until fully coated.
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color if desired.

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Check the drumsticks after 30 minutes. If they’re browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Not into spice? Omit the cayenne or reduce it to a pinch.
For extra-crispy skin, place the drumsticks under the broiler for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Don’t discard leftovers — they’re great cold or added to salads!

Serving Suggestions

Pair your oven-baked chicken drumsticks with sides that can roast at the same temperature for maximum convenience:
Roasted asparagus or broccoli
Cauliflower mash or baked cauliflower tots
Oven-roasted potatoes
Fresh garden salad with vinaigrette
Steamed rice or quinoa for a heartier meal

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes to re-crisp the skin, or enjoy cold in a salad or wrap.
Freeze: Store for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
