Ingredients
12 chicken drumsticks (Note 1)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Oil spray
Seasoning (Note 2):
3 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp onion powder
5 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
4 1/2 tbsp plain/all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder (makes them crispier, DO NOT confuse with baking soda / bi-carb) (Note 3)
Instructions
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced). Line a tray with foil then place a rack on the tray (makes the underside of the drumsticks crispier).
Seasoning: Mix the Seasoning ingredients in a shallow bowl.
Coat in oil: Toss the drumsticks in the olive oil. Stretch and pull the skin on each drumsticks to cover as much of the flesh as possible.
Coat in seasoning: Coat a drumstick in the Seasoning then shake the excess off well. Place on the rack. Repeat with remaining drumsticks.
Spray with oil: Spray the legs generously with oil.
Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. Increase the oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan) then bake for a further 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Enjoy!
