Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for plump, evenly shaped drumsticks with no blemishes. Fresh or thawed chicken is best, but frozen drumsticks can also be used if they are thawed properly.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a high-quality baking sheet: A good baking sheet will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't stick. If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a large skillet or griddle.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before you start cooking the chicken. This helps to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
