Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and mustard powder until well combined.

Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until each drumstick is evenly coated.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the drumsticks and toss again until the chicken is thoroughly coated on all sides.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the drumsticks for 23 minutes per side, until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and bake for 3035 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175185°F at the thickest part (near the bone) for juicy, tender drumsticks.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
