Servings: 6 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks skin-on and bone-in
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ Teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ Cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- ½ Cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 Pinch red pepper flakes
- parsley freshly chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a wire rack on top of a large sheet pan.
- Remove drumsticks from their package and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Add the drumsticks to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the drumsticks are coated.
- Place drumsticks on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a digital thermometer reads 165 degrees F when inserted into the drumsticks.
- While the drumsticks are baking, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
- When the drumsticks are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss the drumsticks in the garlic parmesan sauce until coated.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry: It's a good idea to pat the chicken skin dry before adding the seasoning, as it will help them get crispy in the oven.
Check they're done: Not sure if the drumsticks are cooked through? They will be 165 degrees in the thickest part (not touching the bone) when done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they're cooked through.
Don't forget the napkins: These can be messy to eat, so remember the napkins!
