  • 8 chicken drumsticks, about 2 lbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt{tip:We test with Morton kosher salt. Using table salt? Use about 3/4 as much. Diamond Crystal? Use about 1 1/2 times as much.}
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Toss until the chicken is thoroughly coated.

Bake

Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake until the inside reaches 165°F, 40–45 minutes. Serve hot.
