Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks Legs Recipe

Ingredients

  • ▢6 chicken drumsticks
  • ▢1 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ▢1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ▢½ teaspoon chili powder use less if you don’t like spicy food
  • ▢½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • ▢½ teaspoon onion granules
  • ▢½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ▢1 teaspoon salt
  • ▢3 tablespoons BBQ sauce

Equipment

  • Oven

Instructions

  • Start by seasoning the chicken drumsticks. Place in a bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss with seasonings until they’re well coated.
  • Arrange on a sheet pan (preferable with a rack), and bake at 390°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
  • Take them out of the oven, and baste/glaze with BBQ sauce using a heat-proof brush. Return the sheet pan to the oven, and bake for 10 more minutes.

Notes:

To check if the chicken is done and safe to eat, insert an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat (make sure it’s not hitting a bone), and the internal temperature should be around 165°F or 75°C.
