Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks Irresistible Flavor Boost

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken drumsticks
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, dried Italian herbs, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until a paste forms.
3. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until fully coated in the garlic Parmesan mixture.
4. Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart to ensure even cooking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
6. For an extra crispy finish, broil the drumsticks for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of color and freshness.
