Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Keto-friendly BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, and toss them thoroughly in the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 5
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Step 6
Once the drumsticks have cooked for 35 minutes, remove them from the oven and brush each piece generously with the keto-friendly BBQ sauce.
Step 7
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the BBQ sauce to caramelize.
Step 8
After removing from the oven, let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the keto BBQ chicken drumsticks hot, paired with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
