Easy Everyday Baked Chicken Drumsticks
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  3. Make the seasoning paste: In a medium bowl, use a fork or spatula to combine the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

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

  5. Bake the drumsticks uncovered for about 40 minutes, until they are cooked through and their internal temperature, measured with an instant-read thermometer not touching a bone, reaches a minimum of 165°F.

  6. Baste the drumsticks with the pan juices using a clean pastry brush.

  7. Serve immediately.
