Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry and place them in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
- Coat each drumstick with the garlic Parmesan mixture and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for the last 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Let rest, then garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the chicken is well-coated with the mixture.
- Keep an eye on the drumsticks while broiling to prevent burning.
