Ingredients
Olive oil spray (make your own using a spray bottle)
8 medium chicken drumsticks (total weight 2 lb.)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (if using skinless drumsticks)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking dish with foil and spray it with nonstick olive oil cooking spray.
If desired, remove the skin from the drumsticks by pinching it at the top and pulling down, using paper towels.
Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the spices and (for skinless drumsticks) the olive oil to create a thick paste. Rub the dry rub over the skin-on drumsticks, or pour the paste over the skinless drumsticks and, using your hands, rub it well into the chicken pieces, on all sides.
Bake 45 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
