Chicken drumsticks typically need to be baked in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes at a temperature between 400°F (200°C) and 425°F (220°C). The key is to bake them until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption, though some recipes recommend up to 175°F or 180°F for more tenderness and juiciness

. Here are some detailed guidelines:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F to 425°F.
• Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet with space between them.
• Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (74°C) minimum.
• For extra crispy skin, some suggest finishing under the broiler for a few minutes after baking

In summary, baking chicken drumsticks at 400-425°F for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, and ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F or higher will yield juicy, well-cooked drumsticks with crispy skin
