Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or grill to medium-high heat.
If desired, remove the skin from the chicken drumsticks for a lighter option.
Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper, and any additional spices or herbs of your choice.
Drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help them crisp up during cooking.
If baking, place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
If grilling, place the seasoned drumsticks directly on the grill grates, making sure to leave space between each piece.
Cook the drumsticks for 25-30 minutes in the oven or 15-20 minutes on the grill, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
If desired, baste the drumsticks with barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, or another glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven or grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
