Ingredients

12 chicken drumsticks (about 3 lbs)
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using.
Add drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Arrange drumsticks on the rack, leaving space between each. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is crispy.
Let rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Tips

For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
These can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
