Ingredients

Drumstick Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs Drumsticks
  • cup Avocado OIl
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic Powder or minced garlic

Garlic Parmesan Sauce for Drumsticks

  • cup Butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a baking rack on top.  Remove drumsticks from their package and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, add the drumsticks.  Drizzle avocado oil over them, then add the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss until the drumsticks are completely coated.
  • Place drumsticks on the baking rack on the baking sheet, making sure that they are not touching.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a digital thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the chicken, and the drumsticks are golden brown.
  • While the drumsticks are in the oven, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and parsley in a small bowl.
  • When the drumsticks are done, remove from the oven and toss the hot drumsticks in the Garlic Parmesan sauce until they are completely coated.  Serve immediately with your favorite blue cheese or ranch dressing.  Enjoy!
