Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken drumsticks (about 5 drumsticks)
  • 2 teaspoons spice blend (I modified Nom Nom Paleo's Magic Mushroom Powder to my liking and prefer to use that. See below or feel free to use whatever blend you like.)
  • Olive oil
My Modified Magic Mushroom Powder
  • 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • (Blend porchini through rosemary in a coffee grinder or food processor. Stir in thyme, salt and pepper.)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (so clean up is easier). Set a wire rack (actually called a cooling rack) inside.
  3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. (This helps achieve crispy skin! If you miss this step, you may have soft chicken skin.)
  4. Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil. Coat evenly with seasoning blend.
  5. Place chicken on wire rack and spread them out so they're not touching. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the juices run clear and the meat is fully cooked.
