Ingredients
  

8 chicken drumsticks

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter marinade.

      Coat the Drumsticks: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag, then pour the garlic butter marinade over them. Toss well to ensure the drumsticks are evenly coated.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the marinated drumsticks onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking.

          Roast the Drumsticks: Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the drumsticks are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Flip them halfway through cooking for an even crispiness.

            Serve and Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color.

              Enjoy: Serve the garlic butter roasted chicken drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
