Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks are a savory and simple dish enjoyed worldwide, featuring juicy and tender chicken legs seasoned with a mix of herbs and spices, then baked to golden perfection. Common seasonings include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs, making this dish flavorful without needing excess fat or oils. A staple in many cuisines, baked drumsticks are especially popular in Western cooking for their ease of preparation and satisfying taste. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of protein, vitamins like B6, and important minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. Baking rather than frying reduces overall caloric content and saturated fat, making this preparation healthier. However, the skin of the drumstick can contribute to higher cholesterol and fat if consumed, so individuals looking for a lean option may remove it prior to cooking or eating. Pair with vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal.
