Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 8 pieces chicken drumsticks skin-on
  • 1 cup buttermilk for marinade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for best flavor.
  • Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
