Recipe: Herb Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients:
– 8 chicken drumsticks
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the dried thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This herb blend will infuse the chicken drumsticks with delicious flavor.
3. Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the drumsticks to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
4. Sprinkle the herb seasoning mix over the chicken drumsticks, making sure to rub it in on all sides to fully coat the meat with the aromatic blend.
5. Arrange the seasoned chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the herb chicken drumsticks for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Make sure to turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly.
7. Once the chicken drumsticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and tender meat with every bite.
8. Garnish the herb chicken drumsticks with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve them hot alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
