Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning paste.
Step 3
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This will help the skin crisp up during baking.
Step 4
Place the drumsticks in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add the seasoning paste and ensure all drumsticks are evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up for a crispier texture.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the drumsticks reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the drumsticks hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your low carb meal.
