Ingredients

• 12 chicken drumsticks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp paprika, optional

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425F and line a sheet pan.
2. Pat the drumsticks very dry, then rub with oil, salt and garlic powder.
3. Space them well apart so they roast rather than steam.
4. Roast 40 to 45 minutes, turning once, until the skin is browned and crisp.
5. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
