Ingredients
- 11 chicken drumsticks (skin on)
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic granules
- 2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees fan oven).
- Add the drumsticks to a large bowl together with the rest of the ingredients.
- Toss well to coat the chicken pieces with the paprika mixture.
- Arrange the drumsticks on an oven rack placed over a baking tray lined with kitchen foil so that the grease released can drip onto the tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the drumsticks over, and increase the temperature to 220 degrees Celsius (425 Fahrenheit, 200 degrees fan oven).
- Bake for a further 15 minutes.

Notes
- I absolutely love this chicken recipe, the meat simply falls off the bones. Increasing the oven temperature ensures the skin crisps up nicely after all the fat is melted.
- Having the drumsticks placed over a baking tray lined with kitchen foil means that all the fat can drip in the tray, we remove the foil, and there is no mess whatsoever.
- If the chicken legs are baked in a dish rather than on a rack, all the fat released will stay in the dish, making the chicken rather oily.
