For enhanced browning, broil the drumsticks for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Experiment with different seasonings, such as paprika, onion powder, or herbs like rosemary and thyme. Ensure even cooking by not overcrowding the baking dish. If necessary, use two dishes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a glass or ceramic baking dish with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
02
StepPour 1/4 cup of olive oil into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Arrange the chicken drumsticks in a single layer, alternating the direction of each drumstick to maximize space. Place a pat of butter on top of each drumstick. (10 minutes)
03
StepSprinkle the drumsticks evenly with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil over the chicken. (3 minutes)
05
StepReturn to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 10-15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165°F (74°C). (15 minutes)
06
StepRemove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Jun 14, 2025I loved this recipe but be sure to keep an eye on the chicken near the end, it can burn easily if your oven runs hot like mine.
