Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 Drumsticks
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and mustard powder until well combined.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until each drumstick is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the drumsticks and toss again until the chicken is thoroughly coated on all sides.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the drumsticks for 2–3 minutes per side, until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175–185°F at the thickest part (near the bone) for juicy, tender drumsticks.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
