Too bad they are skinless; the Atkins Diet appears to encourage fat. As one
who is not on Atkins I'd have to say use some sort of seasoned breading but
since you aren't going to do that, the garlic powder, salt & pepper sound
about right. No added liquid nor covered; you don't want to steam them.
Brush the baking pan with a little oil, then bake them at about 325F for
20-25 minutes. Turn them over halfway through. And the end of that time,
poke the meatiest part of the biggest drumstick with a fork and if the
juices run clear you may assume they are cooked through. If not, bake them
another 5-10 minutes.
