Description
Crispy Baked Chicken Drumsticks offer a satisfying crunch and savory flavor, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pieces drumsticks chicken (choose skin-on for extra crispiness)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (adds richness and helps the seasonings stick)
- oil spray (a light mist ensures the skin turns beautifully crispy)
- 3 tsp garlic powder (adds savory depth of flavor)
- 3 tsp onion powder (enhances overall taste)
- 5 tsp smoked paprika (brings delightful smokiness)
- 2 tsp black pepper (for a gentle kick)
- 1.5 tsp cooking/kosher salt (essential for flavor)
- 4.5 tbsp plain/all-purpose flour (creates crunchy texture)
- 3 tsp baking powder (helps crisp up the coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced). Line a tray with foil, then place a rack on top.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
- Toss each drumstick in the extra virgin olive oil, covering as much meat as possible.
- Coat each oiled drumstick in your seasoning mix, shaking off excess.
- Generously spray the seasoned drumsticks with oil.
- Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. Increase the heat to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan) and bake for another 15 minutes.
