Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated in the spice mixture.
Step 4
Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time for optimal crispiness.

Serve the drumsticks hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired, for an inviting keto-friendly meal.
