Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks thoroughly dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
- 3
In a large bowl, drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil.
- 4
In a separate small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin powder, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this spice blend generously over the chicken, ensuring each drumstick is evenly coated.
- 5
Arrange the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
- 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the drumstick reaches 74 degrees Celsius and the skin is deeply golden and crispy.
- 7
For extra crispiness, you can briefly place them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- 8
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with a dash of chili powder for an extra pop of color and spice.
