Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Next, cover a glass or ceramic baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent any mess.
2
Then, apply 1/4 cup of olive oil evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Arrange the chicken drumsticks in a single layer, ensuring they fit snugly together and alternating their positions for an attractive presentation.
3
After that, place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken drumstick for added flavor. Sprinkle a blend of seasonings including garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper over the chicken for enhanced taste.
4
Now, bake the chicken in a preheated oven for 35 minutes. After that, brush any remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil over the chicken to keep it moist. Continue baking until the chicken is no longer pink and its juices run clear, taking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Finally, check the internal temperature of the chicken by inserting an instant-read thermometer near the bone. The ideal reading should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Celsius.
