Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, allowing them to crisp up in the oven.
Step 4
Place the drumsticks in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag and pour the olive oil and spice mixture over them. Toss the drumsticks until they're evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they're not touching each other for even cooking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and honey. Brush this mixture over the drumsticks for added flavor and a hint of sweetness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the drumsticks are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, low sodium oven-baked drumstick chicken with your choice of sides.
