Ingredients

12 chicken drumsticks (Note 1)

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Oil spray

3 tsp garlic powder

3 tsp onion powder

5 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt

4 1/2 tbsp plain/all-purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder (makes them crispier, DO NOT confuse with baking soda / bi-carb) (Note 3)

Directions

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced). Line a tray with foil then place a rack on the tray (makes the underside of the drumsticks crispier, Note 4).

Seasoning: Mix the Seasoning ingredients in a shallow bowl.

Coat in oil: Toss the drumsticks in the olive oil. Stretch and pull the skin on each drumsticks to cover as much of the flesh as possible.

Coat in seasoning: Coat a drumstick in the Seasoning then shake the excess off well. Place on the rack. Repeat with remaining drumsticks.

Spray with oil: Spray the legs generously with oil.

Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. Increase the oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan) then bake for a further 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Enjoy!
