INGREDIENTS
- 12 chicken drumsticks.
- 2 Tbsp.Of extra virgin olive oil.
- Oil spray.
THESE ARE THE SEASONING NEEDED FOR THE CHICKEN:
- 3 Tsp.Of garlic powder.
- 3 Tsp.Of onion powder.
- 5 Tsp.Of smoked paprika.
- 2 Tsp.Of black pepper.
- 1 1/2 Tsp.Of kosher salt.
- 4 1/2 Tbsp.Of plain/all-purpose flour.
- 3 Tsp.Of baking powder.
PREPARATION
1st Step : Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (around 390 degrees Fahrenheit). First, line a baking sheet with foil, and then set a rack on the foil-lined baking sheet. This will help the bottom of the drumsticks get crispy.
Step 2 : In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the Seasoning. Put the drumsticks in the olive oil and toss them around. To cover as much of the flesh as possible with the skin, each drumstick should have its skin stretched and twisted.
Step 3 : Coat a drumstick in the Seasoning, then remove as much of the excess as possible by shaking it. Position yourself on the rack. It should be done again with the remaining drumsticks.
Step 4 : Put on a heavy coat of oil spray on the legs. Bake for thirty minutes, turning the pan halfway through the cooking time.
Step 5 : After increasing the temperature of the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees Fahrenheit) continue baking the chicken for another 15 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Enjoy!
