Juicy Baked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

Place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the drumsticks for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serve:

Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum juiciness.

Serving Tips:
Pair these juicy drumsticks with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

For extra flavor, drizzle with a little bit of lemon juice or serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or honey mustard.

This baked chicken drumstick recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a family gathering. The chicken comes out juicy and flavorful, without the hassle of frying!
