Drumstick Ingredients

2-3 pounds chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garlic Parmesan Coating

4 tablespoons butter room temperature
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Grated

In a mixing bowl, toss the drumsticks in a couple tablespoons of avocado oil. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper and combine again.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a digital thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the drumstick.
