Ingredients
8 chicken drumsticks bone-in, skin-on (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika sweet or smoked
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This will help the spices to stick to the chicken and also get the chicken crispier.
Place the chicken in a mixing bowl or directly on the baking pan and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat.
In a small mixing bowl combine the garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and toss to coat. Lay the chicken legs on the baking sheet with enough room around each so they’re not touching.
Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping once through the baking process.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
