Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken drumsticks 12 legs
- 1 tbsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp chili powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 435 degrees.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl and spritz with the oil to coat.
- Mix the granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chili powder in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled chicken and then toss to coat.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces for airflow.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees. Be sure to flip the pieces halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- OPT - you can broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of the baking time for added crispness if desired.
- I like to add a sprinkle of parsley and parmesan cheese for added flavor and visual interest when serving.
