Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the drumsticks to the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack in a single layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 7
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.
Step 8
Serve the keto baked chicken drumsticks with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a crisp salad.
