Ingredients
- chicken drumettes
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- paprika
- salt and pepper
- fresh parsley
- toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Hold a chicken drumette by the bone end. Use a sharp knife to make a cut around the base of the drumette, about 1 inch from the end. Push the meat downward to create the "tulip" shape. Secure the bottom with a toothpick to maintain the shape. Repeat with the remaining drumettes.
- Place the chicken tulips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the tulips and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to coat the tulips evenly with the seasoning.
- Bake the chicken tulips in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken tulips from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
