Cook Time: 45

Servings: 5 servings

Ingredients

3 Tbsp high heat cooking oil - I use avocado oil
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp Onion powder
1 Tbsp Garlic powder
10 chicken drumsticks

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
Add the cooking oil and spices to a large bowl and mix together.
Add in the chicken legs and toss with the spice mixture until they're evenly coated.
Place in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and reaches 165°F as an internal temperature when poked with a meat thermometer.

Recipe Notes:

For crisper chicken, use a rack that sits on top of a baking sheet. This will allow juices to drip away from chicken, creating a crispier skin.
