SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
I wanted a basic way to cook drumsticks since they are cheaper than the breasts. I didn't want alot of spice or sauce on it so if you are looking that, this is not the recipe for you. We found it just right for us, the flavor of the chicken really comes through. I served with corn and twice baked potato casserole.

Tips:
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to find the perfect flavor combination for your chicken drumsticks. Some popular choices include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and thyme.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the chicken drumsticks. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking pan: When baking the chicken drumsticks, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If the chicken drumsticks are too close together, they will steam instead of bake.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken drumsticks are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked chicken drumsticks turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give baked chicken drumsticks a try.
