Instructions for
Roasted Chile-Lime Chicken Drumsticks
Preheat oven to 400°.*
Place chicken drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag and sprinkle chile-lime seasoning over chicken; shake to completely coat all pieces.
Lightly spray or coat a roasting pan with oil, place seasoned chicken directly on it, and bake in the oven until internal temperature reaches 190°, about 45 minutes to an hour.
Serve with whole-grain bread or brown rice and spicy pickled carrots.
*Optimal oven temperature recommendations for roasting drumsticks range from 350°–450° and drumstick sizes can make cook times vary, so the best rule is to find what works for your oven, check internal cooking temps, and cook for as long as needed.
