SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Simple Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

I wanted a basic way to cook drumsticks since they are cheaper than the breasts. I didn't want alot of spice or sauce on it so if you are looking that, this is not the recipe for you. We found it just right for us, the flavor of the chicken really comes through. I served with corn and twice baked potato casserole.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

This is the easiest and best way to make great baked chicken. Thoroughly pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then coat them with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. We like to add a little fresh chopped rosemary as well, but you can substitute fresh thyme or oregano. Bake the chicken on a wire rack on an aluminum-foil-lined sheet pan so that hot air can circulate, creating crispy skin on all sides of the chicken.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 8 to 10 (serving size: 1 to 2 drumsticks)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 skin-on chicken legs (about 4 lb.)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Dry chicken legs thoroughly with paper towels. Toss together chicken legs and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir together salt, pepper, and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle salt mixture over chicken legs, and toss to coat.
  • Line a half-sheet pan with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set a wire rack in prepared pan. Arrange chicken legs in a single layer on wire rack.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken leg registers 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Let chicken stand 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips for Cooking Drumsticks in the Oven:

  • Choose the right drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat. Avoid drumsticks that are bruised or have freezer burn.
  • Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before you start cooking the drumsticks. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the drumsticks: Season the drumsticks with your favorite spices and herbs. You can use a simple salt and pepper rub, or you can get more creative with your seasonings.
  • Cook the drumsticks in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the baking sheet when you are cooking the drumsticks. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking: Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking so that they brown evenly on all sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The drumsticks are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Cooking drumsticks in the oven is a simple and easy way to prepare a delicious and satisfying meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your drumsticks are cooked perfectly every time. Serve the drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
