Cooking Time: 35-40 minutesPreperation Time: 10 minutes

Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 gram of salt, 0.5 grams of black pepper, 1 gram of garlic powder, 1 gram of onion powder, and 1 gram of dried herbs (thyme or rosemary). Place approximately 300 grams of chicken drumsticks in a large bowl and add the spice mixture, tossing well to ensure the drumsticks are evenly coated.

Roasting

Arrange the coated chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don't touch for even cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Halfway through, flip the drumsticks for an even roast.

Serving

Once fully cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal. Enjoy your flavorful and protein-packed Roasted Chicken Drumsticks.
