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 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove moisture, ensuring a crispy bake.
Step 4
Place the drumsticks in a large mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil and spice mixture over the drumsticks, tossing to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
