• 5 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
• 3.5 oz Pork Rinds (grinded)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced).
• Line a tray with foil, then place a rack on the tray (this makes the underside of the drumsticks crispier, Note 4).

2. Seasoning:

• Mix the Seasoning ingredients in a shallow bowl.

3. Coat in Oil:

• Toss the chicken drumsticks in the olive oil.
• Stretch and pull the skin on each drumstick to cover as much of the flesh as possible.

4. Coat in Seasoning:

• Coat a drumstick in the Seasoning mixture, then shake off the excess.
• Place it on the rack.
• Repeat this step with the remaining drumsticks.

5. Bake:

• Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
• Increase the oven temperature to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan).
• Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

6. Enjoy:

• Once they’re done, remove the drumsticks from the oven.
• Allow them to cool slightly, and then it’s time to dig in!
