My spiced chicken drumsticks recipe is always in rotation for my family\u2019s weeknight dinners. These crispy baked chicken drumsticks are smoky, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. I especially love this recipe because it\u2019s something I can make with my son\u2014I usually coat the drumsticks in spices by shaking them in a bag, a step he totally loves, making it a fun kitchen moment we get to share.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
The mostly hands-off technique gives me tons of flexibility on busy nights. You can literally shake it, bake it, and forget it\u2014freeing me up to prepare a side dish like scalloped potatoes, a chopped salad, or quinoa while the chicken roasts. In the meantime, my son whisks together a simple condiment to go with it: mayo, lime juice, and some hot sauce. So good!\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Drumsticks are a favorite in our household for this recipe, but you can easily use other cuts of chicken:\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Ciara Kehoe<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n To make four servings, you\u2019ll need:\n<\/p>\n Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine the vegetable oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne, if using. Add the chicken, seal the bag if using, and toss thoroughly to ensure the drumsticks are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture. For maximum flavor, marinate the drumsticks in the refrigerator overnight. If you\u2019re short on time, marinate for at least 1 hour.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready to cook, if you marinate the chicken overnight, remove it from the fridge and let it stand at room temperature while the oven preheats to 425\u00b0F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, set a wire rack inside, and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray. Place the drumsticks on the greased rack. Bake until crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of one of the drumsticks reads at least 165\u00b0F, 45 to 50 minutes, flipping the drumsticks halfway through to ensure even crisping.\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Ciara Kehoe<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake at 400\u00b0F until the skin is crispy again and the chicken is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes.\n<\/p>\n These drumsticks also make one of the best freezer meals! To freeze, lay the baked-and-cooled drumsticks in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer to a zip-top bag for compact storage and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight for the best texture, then follow the reheating instructions above.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can easily customize the seasonings for this chicken to suit your taste:\n<\/p>\n #Spiced #Chicken #Drumsticks #Recipe #4Ingredient<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My spiced chicken drumsticks recipe is always in rotation for my family\u2019s weeknight dinners.
