Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Adobo all-purpose seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Adobo seasoning, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Step: Pat chicken legs dry and remove any excess fat. Place in a large bowl and rub seasoning mixture evenly over each drumstick.

- Step: Optional: Baste chicken one more time with broth before serving.
