Easy Everyday Baked Chicken Drumsticks
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks on the baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. Make the seasoning paste: In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper with a fork or a spatula.

  3. Using a pastry brush or your hands, coat the chicken pieces with the seasoning paste.

  4. Bake the drumsticks uncovered for about 40 minutes, until their internal temperature, measured with an instant-read thermometer and not touching a bone, reaches 165°F.

  5. Baste the drumsticks with the pan juices using a clean pastry brush. Serve immediately.
