1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil and stir in garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley, and oregano for 1 minute.
Pat chicken drumsticks dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes
Drying the chicken is key for crispy skin. Don’t overcook the garlic in the oil—it only needs one minute. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
