Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C for convection, gas 6). Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, generously season with salt, add ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, granulated garlic and ground black pepper. Mix well until each piece is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Arrange the drumsticks in a large baking tray, spacing them so there is enough room between each. If needed, keep some of the oil and spices left in the bowl and drizzle them over the meat.

   Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully turn each drumstick and continue cooking for another 20–25 minutes, until the meat is tender and the skin is golden‑caramel.
