Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Brine Magic 🧂Pat chicken drumsticks completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and better spice adherence.
- Paprika Power 🌶️Toast your paprika in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles in your chicken.
- Rack Technique 🍗Place chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation, which creates an evenly crispy exterior on all sides of the drumsticks.
- Oil Massage Trick 💦Massage the olive oil into the chicken before adding dry seasonings to help spices stick and create a more uniform, flavorful coating.
- Skin Crisp Technique 🔥Finish the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy skin without drying out the meat.
