THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN YOU’LL EVER HAVE!

I love drumsticks. They are inexpensive and pair perfectly with pretty much everything. 🥰

Oven-Baked Sofrito Drumsticks

Juicy, flavorful, and perfect with rice or veggies!

Here’s my go-to recipe for drumsticks that always hit! I eyeball my seasonings based on how many drumsticks I’m making, so feel free to do the same!

What I use:

• Sofrito (tomato-based)

• Minced garlic

• Tomato bouillon with chicken

• Onion powder

• Garlic powder

• Cumin

• Kinder’s Grilled Chicken seasoning

• Thyme

• Paprika

• Black pepper

• Annatto powder (optional, for color)

• Parsley

• Avocado oil

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients into the chicken well.

2. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

3. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

4. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until golden, juicy, and cooked through.

Serving tip:

These are perfect with any style of rice or grain and your favorite veggie on the side!

... Read moreBaked chicken recipes are gaining popularity for their ease and flavor. Using sofrito—a delicious tomato-based sauce—adds a unique depth to your drumsticks that elevates your meal. Marinating your chicken not only enhances the flavor but also helps achieve that juicy, tender texture everyone craves. When baking chicken, achieving the right internal temperature is crucial. The USDA recommends that chicken should reach 165°F for safe consumption. To ensure even cooking, consider using a meat thermometer. Baking at 400°F helps create a crispy skin while keeping the meat moist. These baked drumsticks pair wonderfully with various sides. From fluffy rice to roasted vegetables, you can customize your plate. For a complete meal prep solution, consider making extras for the week; they reheat well and stay delicious. Besides, drumsticks are a budget-friendly option, making them perfect for families and meal prep enthusiasts alike. Enjoy this versatile dish any day of the week!
