1-First, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl to make the marinade. Add the chicken drumsticks and coat them thoroughly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor. This marinating step helps the herbs and garlic penetrate the meat nicely.

2-Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray or lightly oiling it. Arrange the marinated drumsticks in a single layer on the sheet for even cooking. Bake them for about 40 minutes until the skin turns golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.

3-To check doneness, use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Finally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh finishing touch.
