Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, parsley, and pepper in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add chicken drumsticks; turn to coat evenly. Seal bag, squeezing out all the air.

Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Let chicken come to room temperature, about 25 minutes. Arrange on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes. Flip chicken and baste with juices; continue cooking until browned on the second side, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Step 6

Cover chicken with aluminum foil. Let stand before serving, about 5 minutes.
