Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks and thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them well until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Step 5
Place the chicken pieces on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between the pieces for even cooking.
Step 6
Cut the unsalted butter into small pats and place them on top of the chicken pieces for added moisture and richness.
Step 7
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
