Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Our easy Oven Baked Chicken Drumstick recipe is a simple dinner that can be tossed in your favorite sauce!
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top and spray with cooking spray.
- Season: Place 12 chicken drumsticks on top in a single layer, try not to let them touch, and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Bake: Place in the oven, middle rack, and let cook for 35-40 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165℉ - use a meat thermometer).
- Rest + Serve: Remove from oven and let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Serve plain or with your favorite sauce (we love homemade bbq sauce & our easy buffalo sauce recipe)!
Notes
- Cook Time: will vary with size of the drumsticks. If drumsticks are extra large they may need to be cooked a little longer, just use a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked!
- Amount: This recipe can really be adapted for as many drumsticks as you can fit (without touching) on your wire rack.
- Storage: leftover drumsticks can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
