Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
6 chicken drumsticks
1/4 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 425°
  • 2. Mix flour, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper in a bowl.
  • 3. Dip chicken drumsticks into the butter; roll in flour mixture to coat.
  • 4. Arrange in an ungreased square pan (8x8x2)
  • 5. Baked uncovered until done, about 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right drumsticks: Look for plump, meaty drumsticks with evenly distributed fat. Avoid drumsticks with bruises or freezer burn.
  • Marinate the drumsticks: Marinating the drumsticks in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps tenderize the meat and adds flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, or try a more complex marinade with ingredients like honey, soy sauce, and ginger.
  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the drumsticks. This helps ensure that the drumsticks cook evenly.
  • Roast the drumsticks on a wire rack: This allows the air to circulate around the drumsticks, resulting in crispy skin and evenly cooked meat.
  • Baste the drumsticks: Basting the drumsticks with the cooking juices or a flavorful sauce helps keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the drumsticks every 20-30 minutes during cooking.
  • Cook the drumsticks until they are cooked through: The drumsticks are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer.

Conclusion:

Baked drumsticks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
