Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds of chicken drumsticks
1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons of onion powder
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss drumsticks with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange drumsticks on the rack without overlapping.
After 20 minutes of baking, brush BBQ sauce generously on the chicken and return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For a caramelized exterior, broil the chicken for the last 3-5 minutes, monitoring closely to prevent burning.
Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
