Preparation
- Serving size:8.70 oz (calculated)Notes: about 3 drumsticks, depending on size (8 oz of raw chicken with skin, excluding bones)
- Temperature: 425 °F (preheated, circulating air)
- Note that in the ingredients the weight of the chicken is given for the edible portion only. For us, 3 lb (1.34 kg) of drumsticks with bone, cartilage etc yielded about 2 1/2 lb (1.13 kg) of raw meat and skin. (We weighed the leftover bones.)
- Wash the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry.
- Season them with salt, pepper and bouillon powder. If you have no bouillon powder at hand, you can replace it with salt.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat the oil and roast the minced garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano and cayenne pepper until fragrant, about a minute or two.
- Toss the chicken in the spice mix and the finely chopped parsley. Optionally set aside some of the parsley for garnishing.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you have one, top it with a wire rack. This will make the chicken skin extra crisp.
- Spread the chicken on the baking tray or wire rack.
- Sprinkle with half the onion powder, flip the drumsticks and sprinkle with the remaining onion powder.
- Bake the chicken legs until they are crisp, about 30 minutes. Flip the chicken after about 20 minutes to ensure the chicken is crisp all around.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy sprinkled with the remaining parsley.
- You can store the chicken in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. It's best to reheat the drumsticks in the oven. Like this they has a crisper texture than if you microwave them. Alternatively, reheat it in a pan on the stovetop.
