Baked chicken drumsticks are an easy and delicious recipe that is perfect for family dinners! The chicken comes out amazingly juicy, has crispy skin, and is full of flavor. This chicken leg recipe is made with simple seasonings, and is ready in just 45 minutes!
Ingredients:
1½ pounds chicken drumsticks (about 5 – 6 drumsticks)
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste (reduce to 1/2 teaspoon if using soy sauce)
½ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1½ teaspoon garlic powder
1½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, (alternatively you can use soy sauce)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add all of the ingredients to a large freezer bag and seal it closed. Shake all of the ingredients in the bag together. Alternatively, you can mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl or shallow dish and place the chicken in the dish to marinade, turning every few minutes/hours as needed. Make sure that the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Preferably for a few hours. Arrange the chicken on a lined baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, flipping the chicken over halfway through the cooking time. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Serve immediately.
