1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place wire cooling rack on top if you have one for crispier skin. Pat drumsticks completely dry with paper towels.

2. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, Italian herbs, and black pepper in large bowl. Drizzle drumsticks with olive oil or melted butter, toss in seasoning until evenly coated.

3. Arrange seasoned drumsticks on prepared baking sheet leaving space between each. Don’t let them touch or they’ll steam instead of crisp. Bake 35 minutes without opening oven door.

4. While chicken bakes, melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice.

5. Remove drumsticks from oven and brush generously with garlic butter. Return to oven and bake 5 more minutes. Repeat brushing process one more time for extra flavor.

6. Remove drumsticks from oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while hot. Cheese will melt slightly and stick to buttery skin.

7. Let drumsticks rest 5 minutes before serving. Save any leftover garlic butter for dipping bread or vegetables.
