Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 chicken drumsticks (4 oz each)
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch seasoned salt
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a glass or ceramic baking dish with foil.

2

Spread 1/4 cup olive oil on the dish bottom. Arrange drumsticks in a single layer, alternating directions for a snug fit. Top each with 1 tablespoon butter. Season with garlic salt, seasoned salt, and a dash of regular salt and pepper.

3

Bake for 35 minutes. Brush remaining olive oil (1/4 cup) over chicken. Continue baking until fully cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Check that the internal temperature reaches 74°C with a meat thermometer.
