Ingredients
-
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin

1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
-
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
-

Description
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass or ceramic baking dish with foil.
-
Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add drumsticks in a single layer, alternating directions to fit. Top each with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Brush remaining 1/4 cup oil over chicken. Continue to bake until no longer pink, and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
