Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
Place drumsticks in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with spice mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
Serve with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
