Keto Baked Ranch Chicken Drumsticks (Print Version)

Juicy ranch-seasoned chicken drumsticks roasted with tender green beans for an easy low-carb dinner.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 8 chicken drumsticks, approximately 2 pounds
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Ranch Seasoning

03 - 1½ teaspoons dried dill
04 - 1½ teaspoons dried parsley
05 - 1 teaspoon dried chives
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
10 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Green Beans

11 - 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
12 - 1½ tablespoons olive oil
13 - ½ teaspoon sea salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together dried dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
03 - Pat chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with prepared ranch seasoning, and toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Position coated drumsticks on one half of the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even air circulation and browning.
05 - In a separate bowl, combine trimmed green beans with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss until uniformly coated.
06 - Spread seasoned green beans on the other half of the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping drumsticks and stirring green beans halfway through cooking.
07 - Check that chicken drumsticks are golden brown with an internal temperature of 165°F and green beans are lightly browned and tender. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • One-Pan Simplicity: The chicken and vegetables cook together on a single baking sheet for minimal cleanup.
  • Classic Ranch Flavor: A blend of dill, parsley, chives, and garlic provides a zesty taste without hidden sugars or additives.
  • Nutritious and Low Carb: This high-protein meal contains only 6g of carbohydrates per serving, making it perfect for a keto lifestyle.
02 -
  • Extra Crispiness: Broil the chicken drumsticks for 2–3 minutes at the end of the baking time for a golden, crunchy skin.
  • Temperature Check: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Sheet Management: Leaving space between the drumsticks on the baking sheet allows for better air circulation and more even browning.
