Baked Chicken Drumsticks

These baked chicken drumsticks come out perfectly juicy with crispy skin every time. Kids love them and they're so easy to whip up! My kids enjoy dipping their chicken legs in ranch dressing! Feel free to mix up the seasonings to suit your tastes. Different seasoning ideas are in the blog post! My notes: I used a garlic and herb spice mix; any that appeal to you will work. Barbecue rub also works quite well. I put mine on a rack on the sheet pan and sprayed the rack and the chicken with canola oil before adding seasoning to the chicken. Adding foil under the rack will make cleanup easier. You can let the seasoned chicken marinate in a plastic bag for a bit, or put it right on the rack. Turning the chicken once during cooking will make sure they are evenly done and avoid having that purple color you sometimes get next to the bone of cooked chicken. I prefer cooking the legs to 185+, which is what you'll usually get from this temp and time. Let them rest a few minutes. Serve them up when done, or finish with your favorite sauce.
