Garlic-Lime Roasted Chicken Drumsticks

Recipe View In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, parsley, and pepper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (2 hours to overnight)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade. Allow the chicken to sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Flip the chicken drumsticks and baste them with the pan juices. Continue cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the second side is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone. (10-15 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the chicken from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the drumsticks to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in even more succulent meat. (5 minutes)
