  1. Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. Wash and pat dry drumsticks. 

  3. In a bowl, combine the flour, pepper and baking powder.  

  4. Toss the drumsticks to evenly coat and shake off any excess flour. 

  5. Place them on the wire rack in a single layer and leave to dry out for 2 hours. 

  6. Preheat oven to 220C/430F.

  7. Drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil and bake for approximately 45 minutes until deeply golden brown.

  8. Remove from oven and turn over. Continue baking until crispy.

Note

The secret ingredient for a crispy skin is the baking powder so don't leave it out. Do not season with salt as it draws out moisture and prevents crisping and browning.
