Ingredients

600 g Chicken drumstick fillets
1 teaspoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Garlic granules
½ teaspoon Onion granules
½ teaspoon Mixed herbs
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the chicken. Pat each fillet dry.
Add the paprika, black pepper, garlic granules, onion granules, parsley, thyme, salt, and olive oil to the chicken fillets. Mix till they are well coated.
Arrange the drumstick fillets on a baking tray (You can line it with parchment paper), leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Bake at 200 °C for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If you want an extra crispy outer, turn on the broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

Drying the chicken well before seasoning ensures that the seasoning isn't watered down and you get a flavorful and crispy outcome.
Space and airflow are key to evenly cooked chicken, so avoid crowding the fillets on the tray, and if you like, elevate them on a wire rack in the tray.
Bake at a high temperature, around 400°F (200°C), placing the thickest cuts in the center.
Let the meat rest for a few minutes before cutting it. This brief pause is vital to let the juices redistribute in the chicken.
