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 paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and thyme.
Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with spice mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, spacing them apart.
Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
