Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients

• 1 tsp smoked paprika 
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper 
• ¼ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt 
• ¼ tsp black pepper 
• 1.75 lbs. chicken drumsticks 
• 2 Tbsp cooking oil

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Place the chicken drumsticks in a bowl and drizzle the cooking oil over top. Sprinkle the prepared seasoning over the drumsticks, then toss until they’re evenly coated in oil and spices.
• Place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet with enough space around each so they’re not touching. You can line the baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup, if desired.
• Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 175ºF, flipping the drumsticks once half-way through. Serve hot.
