Description

Tender chicken drumsticks baked to crispy perfection and slathered in rich BBQ sauce, perfect for family dinners or game-day gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 10 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Dry the chicken drumsticks with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the drumsticks and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Brush BBQ sauce over each drumstick, coating thoroughly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and optionally brush with additional BBQ sauce.
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour. Use a wire rack for crispier skin.
