Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, ground cumin, and onion powder. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the drumsticks on the wire rack, making sure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 6
Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
