Ingredients
– 3 pounds chicken drumsticks the main protein for a hearty meal
– 1/2 cup olive oil for mixing into the marinade and ensuring crisp skin
– 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice to add brightness and tenderize the meat
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic for a savory boost to the garlic herbs
– 1 teaspoon salt to balance and enhance the flavors
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for a touch of heat and depth
– 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning to infuse aromatic herbs into the dish
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for sprinkling on top before serving
Instructions
1-Step 1: Prepare the Marinade Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Coat the 3 pounds of chicken drumsticks thoroughly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper taste.
2-Step 2: Preheat the Oven Before baking, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and lightly oil or spray a baking sheet. This setup helps achieve that crispy skin everyone loves on baked chicken drumsticks with garlic herbs.
3-Step 3: Arrange and Bake Lay the marinated drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes or until theyβre golden brown and cooked through. For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature hits 165 degrees F.
4-Step 4: Finish and Serve Once done, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh touch. To get even crispier skin, try using a convection oven or broiling briefly at the end. The whole process takes about 10 minutes of prep, 2 hours of marinating, and 40 minutes of baking, making it perfect for weeknights.
