Onion powder
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice
Stir well until everything is combined.
Pour the mixture over the chicken drumsticks and massage it into the meat so every piece is coated with the seasoning.
For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for 20–30 minutes. If you have more time, you can leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
3️⃣ Bake the Chicken
Place the drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil.
Arrange them in a single layer so they cook evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking so they brown nicely on all sides.
The chicken is ready when it is golden brown on the outside and tender inside.
4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve them hot with your favorite sides such as:
-
Roasted potatoes
-
Steamed vegetables
-
Fresh salad
-
Rice or couscous
