Oven Roasted Drumsticks

Since I mentioned that drumsticks, and thighs were on sale nearby on my page I thought that it might be a good time to also make a quick blog entry about my favorite way to make them. This method is not only tasty, but it's quick, and easy, too!

All you need is the chicken, whatever your preferred seasoning is, (I use garlic salt, usually) and a broiling pan. If you don't have one you can also use a cookie sheet covered in foil with a cooling rack on top. like this:

First: preheat oven to 450 degrees, and spray your pan with cooking spray.


Second: Arrange the chicken on the pan/rack. I leave the skin on so it gets crispy, and retains the moisture. If you don't want to do that you can remove it. The easiest way to do that is by placing a dry paper towel against the skin while you pull.  Season the chicken.

Third: Bake for about 40 minutes turning halfway through. That's it!

If you want to make it with barbecue sauce you can follow the same instructions, but wait until about the last 10 minutes or so to add the sauce. Lots of different ways to make different flavors, but it always comes out tasting so good!
