Ingredients
•
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•
6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
•
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
•
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).
