Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp high heat cooking oil (such as avocado oil)
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 10 chicken drumsticks
Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Step: Add the cooking oil and spices to a large bowl and mix together.
- Step: Add in the chicken legs and toss with the spice mixture until they’re evenly coated.

Notes
For crisper chicken, use a rack that sits on top of a baking sheet. This will allow juices to drip away from chicken, creating a crispier skin.
