- ½ tsp Kosher salt

Plus

- Thaw the chicken at least an hour before baking. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.2 lbs Chicken drumsticks
- Oven - Preheat the oven at 400°F / 200°C/ Gas Mark 6 for at least 10 minutes.
- Prep pan - Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Marinade - Combine all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.½ tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Onion powder, ½ tsp Cumin, 1 tsp Paprika, ½ tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Black pepper powder, 2 tbsp Olive oil, 2 tbsp Lemon juice , 1 tbsp Parsley
- Marinate drumsticks - Place the chicken in a large bowl. Pour the oil over the chicken and coat well. Sprinkle the spices all over the chicken tossing so they coat evenly.
- Baking sheet - Place the drumsticks on the baking sheet, leaving enough room around them.
- Bake the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and the chicken is cooked through. When done, the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F on a meat thermometer.
- I like to serve these with a squeeze of lemon and garnish with parsley.
