1
Preheat your oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper which is easier to manage and more eco-friendly.
2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry. This will help the spices and glaze adhere better and result in crispier skin.
3
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to ensure all drumsticks are evenly coated.
4
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. This will be our dry spice rub.
5
Sprinkle the spice rub over the chicken drumsticks. Toss the drumsticks until evenly coated.
6
In the same small bowl you used for the spice rub, combine brown sugar and soy sauce. Stir well to form a sticky glaze.
7
Apply the glaze to each drumstick using a brush.
8
Arrange the chicken legs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's enough space around each drumstick to allow for even baking.
9
Bake the chicken for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Rotate the chicken halfway through baking for even crispiness.
10
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. This makes for a juicer bite.
