Drumstick Deliciousness.
For this recipe we are going to need about eight (8) drumsticks, feel free to reduce or double, and do the same to the other ingredients (if you intend to cook less or more respectively.)
The secret ingredient that helps me to get the vibrant color and rich taste for this recipe is paprika, yay, paprika is made of dried ground bell peppers. And it gives me the natural color I need for this recipe.
With that said let’s begin, if you are ready.
This recipe hands down is the best way to enjoy chicken drumstick that you love without the feeling of guilt. The good old chicken drumsticks, seasoned and baked up in the oven – YUM.
Ingredients
- 8 medium size drumsticks
- 1 tipping tablespoon of paprika
- 1 tsp. of onion powder
- ½ tsp. of garlic powder
- 1 tipping tsp. of seasoning powder or 1 – 2 cubes of Maggi (crushed)
- 1 tsp. of cornstarch
- ½ tsp. of salt (or generous amount of salt as needed; always use salt according to your taste, and health need)
- ¼ tsp. of ground white pepper (or any other pepper)
- A dash of crushed red pepper for extra spicy kick
- A dash of dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the entire dry rub except for the oil, place clean chicken in a clean bowl, and liberally sprinkle the rub on the already washed/clean chicken. Then sprinkle the oil on top as well. Wear gloves or use your clean hands and ensure the mix gets on every part of the chicken drumstick. Then place the marinated chicken on a (foiled lined) baking sheet and place in a 425 degrees already preheated oven.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes (or until the drumsticks are cooked through or the internal thermometer reads 165, set aside.) You may flip the drumstick in the middle of baking to ensure even baking. I usually do not do this, not sure why. Enjoy, the last time I made these drumsticks, I did serve this quinoa Jollof, and they were divine.
Notes
Remember to pat the drumsticks down before seasoning them. This removes excess moisture.
Remember to always add salt according to your taste or according to your health needs.
