Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks about 2.5 lbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack on top.
  2. Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with oil, spices, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
  3. Arrange drumsticks on the rack in a single layer. Bake 30-35 minutes, turning once, until skin is crisp and juices run clear.
  4. Rest 5 minutes, sprinkle parsley, and serve. I usually hide one for later.
