Life is hectic enough, getting a flavorful dinner on the table that won't break the bank doesn't have to be! Baked Garlic Paprika Chicken drumsticks are easy and affordable made with simple pantry ingredients. This entire meal, including sides costs just $4.82
Clean and dry the drumsticks and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, paprika, pinch of red pepper flakes, and dried oregano, if using. Whisk together to form a loose paprika garlic chicken rub.
Coat the drumsticks thoroughly with the marinade mixture and place in an alternating pattern in a shallow 9 x 13- inch roasting pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the top of the chicken.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until the chicken legs are cooked through and the juices run clear (165 degrees F).
Serve with roasted potatoes and vegetables for an easy weeknight meal.
olive oil is gluten-free as long as it is made only from olives, as most are. Read the label because anything is possible, but so far I’ve not run into an olive oil that contains gluten. Light olive oil, extra virgin olive oil and plain olive oil are all gluten-free. Flavored olive oils are generally safe but remember to read the label, as always. Cooking oil labels, even when several ingredients are listed, are usually quite easy to read and understand.
