How to Make Healthy Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks

- Yield: 4 Servings 1x
- Diet: Low Calorie
Description
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
Chicken dry rub ingredients:
- 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
- Preheat oven to 425 (I have also used broil sometimes. If you choose to broil, please keep an eye on it and flip it a couple of times to cook evenly.)
- 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. This is highly recommended if you choose to broil this chicken. (Sometimes, I usually do not flip the chicken especially if baking.)
- Serve with whatever you choose or eat like that. The last time I made these drumsticks, I did serve this with 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.
