Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks, bone in and skin-on (about 2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to pat the chicken drumsticks completely dry.
- Place the drumsticks into a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add the oil and all the seasoning including paprika, allspice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the seasoning around the chicken drumsticks to coat evenly. Let the drumsticks marinate for at least 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on a 9x13-inch casserole pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F, as read on a meat thermometer.
- Optionally, turn on broiler on HI and cook for another 5 minutes until nicely charred. Keep a close eye on the drumsticks to make sure they don’t burn as things can burn quickly under the broiler.
- Brush the drumsticks with pan juices, if desired, and serve immediately.
