Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 drumsticks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 tablespoon BBQ sauce

Steps:

Mix the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss the drumsticks in the seasoned oil to coat well. Bake the drumsticks on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet (so air circulates around chicken) until very tender and the skin is crisp, 50 minutes.
  • For the spicy sauce: Mix together the butter, hot sauce and BBQ sauce in a large bowl.
  • Toss the drumsticks in the spicy sauce until well coated. Place the drumsticks back on the rack and continue baking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut chicken strips. This will also help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • If you don't have skewers, you can use metal straws or even toothpicks. Just make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using, so they don't burn.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • If you like your chicken extra crispy, cook it for a few minutes longer. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it will become dry.
  • Serve the chicken sticks with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
