Description

Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, these baked BBQ chicken drumsticks are the perfect realistic weeknight dinner. Minimal prep lets you focus on easy, comforting sides while still serving a delicious, family-approved meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 packages chicken drumsticks (about 10 pieces, 2-3 lbs)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (I love Korean BBQ from Primal Kitchen)

 


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Pat drumsticks dry, then season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Place drumsticks on the baking sheet and brush with BBQ sauce.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the drumsticks, brush with more BBQ sauce, and bake an additional 10 minutes until golden, crispy, and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. Serve with your favorite sides, like cheesy mashed potatoes and maple roasted carrots.
