Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste

  • 1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass or ceramic baking dish with foil.

  2. Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add drumsticks in a single layer, alternating directions to fit. Top each with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Brush remaining 1/4 cup oil over chicken. Continue to bake until no longer pink, and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
