Ingredients:
6 medium Chicken drumsticks (600-750 g)
1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted; or olive oil or avocado oil)
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top.
Step 2
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
Step 3
Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Step 4
Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 77 degrees C.
Step 5 – optional
If the chicken drumsticks are not as crispy as you like, place under the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp up the skin more.
Step 6
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
