Cajun Spiced Grilled Chicken Drumsticks

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.

Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.

Coat the Chicken: Pat the drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. Toss them in the garlic butter mixture until every piece is thoroughly coated.

Bake: Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35 minutes.

Add Parmesan: Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the drumsticks, and return to the oven for another 10–12 minutes until the cheese forms a golden, crispy crust and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F/75°C).

Rest and Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
