Chicken Drumsticks

To make this delicious easy drumstick recipe, you’ll need:

15-16 medium chicken drumsticks

1/4 cup olive oil

80 g melted butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 cup of barbecue sauce

1/2 cup of barbecue seasoning/ mainly a mix of smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, a touch of cayenne and brown sugar. You can also buy ready barbecue seasoning from any grocery store.

Mix the oil with the butter and brush the chicken drumsticks generously. Mix the barbecue seasoning with the brown sugar and cover all sides of the chicken as well.

Place in a 400 degree F oven for 30 minutes, remove and flip on the other side pasting the chicken with the pan drippings. Put back in the oven another 10 minutes. Remove and at this point you can brush with barbecue sauce or leave as is. If you brush with barbecue sauce place back in the oven for another 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way, gets golden and crispy. It shouldn’t take more than an hour to cook.

I served mine with a salad, celery, ranch dressing and they loved them.

Try them soon and if you want less clean up line the pan with a layer of foil / parchment paper and cleanup will be so easy.
