Description
A simple and effective recipe for juicy chicken drumsticks baked in the oven, promising flavor and tenderness in every bite.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken legs
- 1 stick salted butter (8 tablespoons)
- 1.5 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- A dash of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a small dish, melt the salted butter, then mix in the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Dip each chicken leg into the butter mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- Arrange the coated drumsticks on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the drumsticks are golden brown.
- For optimal results, transfer the cooked drumsticks to a wire rack to drain excess juices before serving.
Notes
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels before coating for a crispier skin. Experiment with spices for varied flavors.
