Directions

  1. Prepare. Set an oven rack in the middle and heat to 425°F (218°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease. Pat the CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS thoroughly dry.
  2. Season. Mix the OLIVE OIL, SALT, ITALIAN SEASONING, PAPRIKA, GARLIC POWDER, ONION POWDER, and BLACK PEPPER in a large bowl. Turn the drumsticks in the mixture until coated.
  3. Bake. Space the drumsticks evenly on the prepared tray. Bake for 25 minutes, flip, then bake another 7–10 minutes, until golden and the thickest part reaches 170–175°F without touching bone.
  4. Rest and serve. Rest for 5 minutes, then finish with CHOPPED PARSLEY and serve.
