Season
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a gallon zip-top bag or a large bowl, combine...
- 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.
