FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs or wings instead?
Yes! Adjust cooking time based on the cut—thighs may need a few extra minutes, while wings will cook faster.

Do I need to marinate the chicken first?
Not required, but marinating in olive oil, garlic, and spices for a few hours will enhance the flavor even more.

How do I get the crispiest skin?
Use a wire rack on your baking sheet so the heat circulates all around the drumsticks.
