Garlic Butter Chicken Drumsticks
Garlic butter chicken drumsticks are made by baking seasoned, butterflied drumsticks in garlic butter for a dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 6-8 Chicken Drumsticks
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbs Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 2 Tbs Parsley (divided)
- ½ Stick Butter, melted
- 1 Tbs Garlic Paste
Instructions
- Butterfly the chicken drumsticks by running a sharp knife alone the each side of the bone. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder and parsley until it forms a paste.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to a baking dish and pour the paste on top. Massage it into the chicken until its evenly coated.
- Cover the chicken and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. I like to try to let it marinate for a few hours or even overnight if I can.
- Once you’re ready to cook the chicken, mix the melted butter with garlic paste, salt, pepper and parsley and pour it evenly on top of the chicken.
- Place the baking dish into the center rack of a 400° oven for 40 minutes, basting half way through. If you’d like the crisp that skin up a little more, pop it under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Finally, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, serve with extra garlic butter on top and enjoy!
