Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the drumsticks with garlic powder and any other preferred spices.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and place the drumsticks on a baking sheet.

Cooking

  • Bake the chicken for 35 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
  • After baking, brush the drumsticks generously with the BBQ sauce and honey mixture.
  • Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are sticky and caramelized.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the drumsticks in BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the drumsticks are fully cooked at an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
