1-Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C fan-forced. Line a tray with foil and place a rack on top to allow for crispy undersides; this setup helps hot air circulate and crisp up the skin evenly.

2-In a shallow bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, flour, and baking powder until well combined for an even coating.

3-Toss the 12 chicken drumsticks in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until they’re fully coated, which helps the seasoning stick and aids in browning.

4-Stretch the skin on each drumstick to cover as much flesh as possible this little trick maximizes crispiness and ensures a uniform texture.

5-Coat each drumstick in the seasoning mixture, shaking off any excess, then place them on the rack for proper air flow.

6-Spray the drumsticks generously with oil spray to enhance that crispy finish.

7-Bake for 30 minutes at 200°C (390°F), rotating the tray halfway through to make sure everything cooks evenly and gets that golden color.

8-Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F) or 200°C fan-forced and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

9-Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor; this step ensures the crispiness doesn’t fade.
