Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan.
- Pat the drumsticks dry and toss with oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Bake 40-45 minutes, turning once, until the skin is crisp and the meat near the bone reads at least 165°F (175°F is more tender).
Swaps
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
