This oven-baked chicken drumstick recipe is the perfect dinner idea that can be flavored with any of your favorite seasonings.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1.75 lbs. chicken drumsticks (6 pieces)
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil*

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.
