SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Simple Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

I wanted a basic way to cook drumsticks since they are cheaper than the breasts. I didn't want alot of spice or sauce on it so if you are looking that, this is not the recipe for you. We found it just right for us, the flavor of the chicken really comes through. I served with corn and twice baked potato casserole.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

This is the easiest and best way to make great baked chicken. Thoroughly pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then coat them with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. We like to add a little fresh chopped rosemary as well, but you can substitute fresh thyme or oregano. Bake the chicken on a wire rack on an aluminum-foil-lined sheet pan so that hot air can circulate, creating crispy skin on all sides of the chicken.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 8 to 10 (serving size: 1 to 2 drumsticks)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 skin-on chicken legs (about 4 lb.)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Dry chicken legs thoroughly with paper towels. Toss together chicken legs and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir together salt, pepper, and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle salt mixture over chicken legs, and toss to coat.
  • Line a half-sheet pan with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set a wire rack in prepared pan. Arrange chicken legs in a single layer on wire rack.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken leg registers 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Let chicken stand 5 minutes. Serve warm.

  • 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 drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are too skinny or have a lot of bone.
  • Marinate the chicken drumsticks: Marinating the chicken drumsticks in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to flavor them and make them more tender.
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the chicken drumsticks. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks until they are cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken drumsticks are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken drumsticks rest before serving: Once the chicken drumsticks are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your baked chicken drumsticks turn out perfect every time.
