The Best Crunchy Baked Chicken Legs - easy oven-baked chicken drumsticks with a tastes-like-fried crispy crunch!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 lb chicken drumsticks about 12
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Garlic butter baste:
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp garlic minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Thoroughly pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix together spices (all ingredients but chicken, butter, and minced garlic.)
- Coat chicken in dry rub, let sit 30 minutes to overnight.
- Add chicken to oven on a cooling rack sitting atop a baking sheet.
- Let chicken bake about 40 minutes before adding butter baste - until skin is crispy and fat has started to render.
- Flip chicken drumsticks every 10 minutes to ensure it crisps evenly on all sides.
- In a small pot, melt butter with minced garlic on stove until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Do not let garlic burn.
- With a silicone brush, lightly brush chicken with melted butter and minced garlic, flipping its side each time you add another coat of butter, about every 10 minutes until butter is used up (about 30 minutes.)
- When chicken is ready, turn on broiler and broil for two minutes on each side to give a little extra crunch to chicken skin.
- Serve immediately.
