  • Yield: 6 drumsticks

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
