Dry Rub Baked Chicken

With the homemade dry rub ingredients ready for use, I am baking this easiest and quickest chicken drumsticks for dinner.  It is a quick-fix dinner on week-nights.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

600g. chicken drumsticks

2 tbsp. homemade dry rub

3/4 tbsp. olive oil

Methods:

1. Rinse the chicken drumsticks, get rid of any excess fat, drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Rub the dry rub generously onto the skin and meat of the drumsticks.
3. Arrange the drumsticks onto a baking sheet.
4. Bake in a Convention Oven of 190 degree Celsius for 20 minutes.
5. At 20 minute mark, brush the chicken with olive oil, turn over the drumsticks to the other side and bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Check doneness of the chicken by cutting a slit through the meat.  If meat is not cooked through, bake for another 5-10 minutes.  
7. Remove the drumsticks onto a serving dish.  Do not discard the chicken dripping on the baking sheet.  Save the dripping by scooping it up and pour it over the chicken.
