This is the best weekend dish that you can get into the oven without any fuss and they always taste succulent flavorful! This 13 Spice from our Smell and Taste Range continues to be the most sold spice blend with almost 80 percent of customers being repeat/returning customers! That's absolutely amazing and it means that you love our chicken spice as much as we do!
There really is nothing more to a great chicken dish than spices the correct oven temperature along with things like using room temperature chicken. Those are the fundamentals in obtaining tasty chicken and this oven baked chicken drumstick recipe is no different with the focus mainly on chicken spice with one or two other ingredients to create the crispy skin.
Spice Flavoring
Let's start with the crispy skin and how we get there?
First we need 13 Spice for all your chicken dishes and this can be found here. To this chicken spice we add the two ingredients to ensure crispy skin and those are flour and baking powder (a nice trick I learned from my favorite cooking show except they used baking soda). I must admit that I was expecting more crunch in the skin so I amended the spice combinations to create more flavor since the crisp was less than expected.
The chicken meat is so soft and the skin so flavorful it really is a small price to not have the most crispy skin! Still a lot better than limp skin with no flavoring and dry chicken meat right?
Just look at the deliciousness of this!
Tip: If you find that the flour changes the taste and texture of the chicken spice simply add a teaspoon of our Vegetable spice (another winning purchase!) and 2 teaspoons of the Paprika Spice. The combination of these will give you a well seasoned spicy not hot crispy coating.
Are There Any Substitutions
If substitutions is the right word it still does not justify the taste of the above spices, however here is an alternative method;
I hate to call them substitutions because our spices and seasoning are well developed blends that are created by drying fresh vegetables and using 100% pure spices. However, should you not have the opportunity to purchase them then use another chicken spice with the flour and baking powder.
How To Make These Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks
This is a quick recipe and most of the time the drumsticks are in the oven baking so that leaves you with prep;
Mix the spices in a round dish and pat the drumsticks dry. Dip each drumstick into the spice blend and place them onto an oven dish with a rack. Use foil at the bottom of the tray it makes it so convenient for clean up you will thank me later!
The drumsticks placed over the rack and not directly onto the bottom of the tray allows the drumsticks to cook all round and create rotating hot air = crispy skin!
Serving Suggestions
If you bite into them you might not make it to making any sides, they're so good you might skip on the sides! However, if you do want some inspiration try these;
Served here with a quick fried rice or you could go with a fresh Greek Salad, Air Fryer Potatoes or even a pasta dish and if you need more ideas, you can browse through my side dishes.
Another perfect way to serve these drumsticks is with these delicious sauces!
