Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken drumsticks - about 10 drumsticks
- 1 tbsp garlic avocado oil - or 1 tbsp avocado oil + 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F
- Place a sheet of foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Place a baking rack over the foil so the chicken drumsticks will be elevated off the pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the drumsticks, garlic avocado oil, salt and paprika. Mix well until evenly coated. I like to do this in batches so I can use tongs (see post for tips)
- Place the chicken legs on the baking rack, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Usually about 10 per baking sheet.
- Bake in a 450F oven for 25 minutes
- Turn on the broiler. Take the chicken legs out of the oven and flip them.
- Cook under the broiler at least 5 minutes. If I have time in the night I go up to 10 minutes to get extra crispy skin.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken drumsticks making sure you have reached at least 165F. Ideally around 185F-190F
- Let rest 5 minutes
