Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons lawry's seasoned salt (or 1 teaspoon of salt and your favorite spices)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

How To Make baked chicken drumsticks

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F, then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken, the melted butter, oil and all of the spices; rub the chicken drumsticks until they're evenly coated with the butter/oil and seasonings.
  • Step 3
    Bake 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F. (Check on the chicken about 30 minutes into cooking. If it seems like the outside of the chicken is getting too dark, tent with tin foil while it finishes cooking.)
