• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

•  olive oil, to coat bottom of pan
• 8  chicken drumsticks, rinsed, patted dry
• 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2  teaspoons icing sugar
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1  teaspoon chili powder (if you like food very spicy, up to 1 1/2 tsps)
• 1  teaspoon dried oregano
• 1  teaspoon dried basil
• 3⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder or 3⁄4 teaspoon garlic granules
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 440°F (225C).
2. Pour enough olive oil into a foil-lined 9 X 13-inch baking pan to just coat bottom.
3. Mix flour, icing sugar, chili powder, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cumin, ginger and ground pepper in a heavy-duty plastic bag; shake chicken pieces in the bag, a few at a time, until evenly coated. Give chicken a sharp rap against the side of bag when removing to shake off excess coating.
4. Place the drumsticks in the olive oil; bake 30 minutes. Turn drumsticks and bake 15 minutes more until pieces are fork-tender.
5. Enjoy!
