Ingredients
6 Chicken drumsticks, fresh or safely defrosted
1 tsp black pepper, ground
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basic, dried
Method
Pre-heat your oven to 375*F (190*C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken drumsticks on the lined sheet.
It is time to season! Sprinkle ground black pepper, garlic powder, and basil onto each drumstick.
Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes.
When the timer rings, flip the drumsticks and bake for another 30 minutes.
Place an internal thermometer in the thickest part of the drumstick (being careful to not hit the bone) to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to 165*F (74*C) and is safe to eat.
Now we want to make these drumsticks BLW appropriate! Once they have cooled, take off the skin.
Remove the little pointy bone that sits beside the large bone.
Offer to baby and let them enjoy!
