Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the herb marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer if time permits.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth around the drumsticks on the baking sheet to create a moist cooking environment.
Step 6
Place the drumsticks in the oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once done, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the drumsticks with any remaining juices from the baking sheet drizzled over them for added flavor.
