Recipe For Oven Baked Drumsticks
They cook relatively quickly and are harder to overcook than boneless chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs.
Thai Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Choose medium-sized chicken thighs with similarly sized bone and skin so they cook evenly together.
The answer is that it depends on the size of the chicken legs and the type of oven and pan.
For 85-113 gram (3-4 oz) chicken thighs, cook at 200°C (400°F) for 30-40 minutes until internal temperature of chicken reaches 76°C.
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 F for 30 to 40 minutes until meat is cooked through (170 F).
Baked Chicken Drumsticks
You can cook them right on a flat baking sheet or use them with a rim so all sides of the thigh are crispy.
You can use different seasonings, dried or marinated chicken legs for this recipe. The problem is, I don’t always have enough time to marinate chicken (legs, wings or breasts).
A minimum of 30 minutes or up to 6 hours of marinating is required for good results. While I love pickled chicken, it’s usually not an option when I cook on weekdays.
For this baked chicken thigh recipe, I went with a simple combination of seasonings (pantry staples) mixed with olive oil (to crisp up the chicken thigh skin and help the flavors bind to the meat), juice lemon juice (optional), soy sauce (optional), hot sauce (optional), and a little Dijon mustard (optional).

If you choose to skip the optional ingredients and go with just dried spices and olive oil, the end result will be great too. I just find the mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice and soy sauce add an amazing balanced flavor to this chicken dish.
These baked chicken thighs are delicious on their own, but can be served with a little sauce on the side.
Yes, you can use skinless drumsticks, but the end result won’t be as crispy. Cook about 5 minutes less or until meat is cooked through.

Anyone with kids knows they love chopsticks. And anyone with kids also knows that if the kids like something, the adults will find themselves eating it over and over again. 🙄
All right. Make sacrifices as a parent. But your food doesn’t have to be one of these! That’s why I’ve come up with many variations over the years to make chopsticks a little more interesting for adults. And as my kids have gotten older, they’ve also learned to appreciate these variations. Here are some of them:
However, nine times out of ten, when I have chicken legs staring at me from the fridge, I just cook them. No special sauces or marinades. Just a drizzle of oil, a little spice and 40 minutes in a hot oven. Perfection! 🍗

You only need a few simple ingredients to prepare this easy and tasty chicken recipe. The exact measurements are given in the recipe card below. Here is an overview of what you will need:
Chicken Thighs: In this recipe, I’m using eight thighs, each weighing about 4 ounces. I don’t remove the skin – I think that’s the best part! If you buy them in packs of five, you can make ten following the same recipe by adding about half a tablespoon of olive oil.
Olive Oil: I love cooking with this delicious oil. However, if you prefer to use an oil with a higher smoke point, you can use melted butter.
Kosher salt and black pepper: If you use fine salt, reduce the amount or the dish may taste too salty.

Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. The cayenne greatly enhances the flavor of this dish. Adds flavor without weighing down the dish. But if you’re not a fan of spicy foods, try using just ⅛ teaspoon (a pinch).
Baking logs in the oven is so easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps.
1. The first step is to preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Then line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Now mix the oil with the spices into a paste. Place the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and cover them with the pastry. You can use a pastry brush or just your hands.

3. The final step is to cook the chicken pieces until their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. This should take about 40 minutes for medium thighs.
After the first 30 minutes, check your chopsticks. If they seem to brown too quickly on top, cover them lightly with foil and continue to cook until cooked through.
No, you shouldn’t cover them. You want the skin to turn golden and you want the chicken to be roasted, not steamed. So be sure to leave the chopsticks uncovered.
Yes unfortunately you can. So keep an eye out for them. They should be ready in about 40 minutes, but if the oven heats up, they may be ready sooner.
Oven Baked Drumsticks
The chicken must be fully cooked. It should reach a core temperature of 165°F when measured with an instant-read thermometer that doesn’t touch bone.
It is one of the main dishes that goes with everything. But since I cook them in the oven at 200°, I like to serve these thighs with a side dish that I can cook in the same oven. So I often serve them with one of the following:
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Heat them gently, covered, in the microwave at 50% power.
Or do like me and enjoy them cold! Sometimes I take the skin off, cut it into chunks and use it in a chicken on the cob salad. Or I make myself a picnic-style platter of chilled drumsticks, cauliflower “potato salad,” and some quick pickles.
