Low FODMAP Notes

In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

Smoked paprika: A low FODMAP serving is 1 teaspoon or 2 grams. Larger servings contain higher levels of the FODMAP, excess fructose.

Brown sugar is low FODMAP in servings of ¼ cup or 40 grams.

Dried oregano is low FODMAP in servings of 1 teaspoon or 3 grams.

Avocado oil is naturally low in FODMAPs. Like other plain cooking oils, avocado oil contains only dietary fat and no carbohydrates (FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates). I like avocado oil because it is a source of monounsaturated fats (heart-healthy fats). It is also neutral-flavored with a high smoke point, making it a versatile option for cooking and baking.

Instructions

To make these easy low-FODMAP chicken drumsticks, simply:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a little less cleanup.

Whisk to mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Place chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil.

Sprinkle on the seasoning mix and toss to coat.

Transfer the chicken drumsticks to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 20 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Chicken is considered safe to eat when a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F. However, dark chicken meat, such as drumsticks, can benefit from cooking to a higher internal temperature (175°F-190°F) to help tenderize the meat. 

Serve warm.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for use within 3 days. I like to reheat in an airfryer or oven at 350°F for 7-8 minutes, or until warmed through and the skin starts to crisp up again.
