TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2
While the oven is preheating, pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This ensures a crispier result as it allows the oil and spices to adhere better.
3
Arrange the drumsticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to evenly coat each drumstick.
4
In the same mixing bowl, add garlic powder, smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until each drumstick is well coated with the spice mixture.
5
Transfer the drumsticks onto the prepared baking pan, making sure to leave space between each piece for optimal crisping.
6
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Consider flipping the drumsticks halfway through the baking process for even browning.
7
After baking, allow the drumsticks to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving, helping to keep them juicy and tender.
