Easy Baked Drumsticks Recipes

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Put some olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (just enough to put the drumsticks on).
• Add drumsticks (space enough apart so they aren't touching each other).
• Sprinkle generously with pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Add rosemary to the chicken, if desired.
• Bake at 375° F for half an hour. Turn drumsticks over and add more garlic powder, pepper and salt (same as before). Top with the parsley.
• Bake another half an hour, or until cooked until 160°F.

CRISPY-SKINNED BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the parchment.
• Make the seasoning paste: In a medium bowl, use a fork or a spatula to mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, and spices.
• Using a pastry brush or your hands, coat the chicken pieces with the seasoning paste.
• Bake the drumsticks uncovered until their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes.
• Baste the drumsticks with the pan juices using a clean pastry brush. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top. (I use this set, which includes the baking sheet and rack that fits perfectly.)
• Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
• Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.
