Baked Legs Drumsticks (Super Crispy!)

Category: Chicken

6 medium Chicken drumsticks (1 1/2 lb)
1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper


1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top.
2. Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
3. Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
4. Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F.
5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
