Description

Deliciously crispy baked chicken drumsticks coated in BBQ sauce, easy to make with just eight ingredients.


Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the drumsticks in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  4. Bake the drumsticks for 25 minutes, allowing them to develop that glorious crust.
  5. After 25 minutes, brush each drumstick generously with BBQ sauce and return to the oven.
  6. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the sauce caramelize and deepen in flavor.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, let the drumsticks sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking. Covering with foil for the first 15 minutes helps keep them moist.
