Ingredients

1 tsp smoked paprika ($0.10)

1/2 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1/4 tsp onion powder ($0.03)

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper ($0.02)

1/4 tsp dried oregano ($0.03)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.02)

1.75 lbs. chicken drumsticks (6 pieces, $4.23 *)

2 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.32 **)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

2 Sprinkle with seasonings

3 Place the chicken drumsticks in a bowl and drizzle the cooking oil over top. Sprinkle the prepared seasoning over the drumsticks, then toss until they're evenly coated in oil and spices.

4 Place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet with enough space around each so they're not touching. You can line the baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup, if desired.

5 Bake the chicken

6 Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 175ºF, flipping the drumsticks once half-way through. Serve hot.
