I was in the mood for chicken for dinner, so I made this simple chicken drumsticks recipe. These baked chicken drumsticks were easy to prepare, smelled amazing while they baked, and tasted great. We all loved this easy chicken recipe, and they paired nicely with garlic rice and a delicious chopped salad.

A great reminder that all delicious things that come out of the kitchen don’t need to take a long time or have a lot of ingredients!!
Looks good. Do you use a non-stick skillet?
I used an OVEN PROOF Dutch oven. I hope this helps.
Cheers,

Drumsticks are my favorite, loving this recipe!
Where is there a farm in Brooklyn?
Simply yummy if you ask me.
Simple can definitely be fabulous! Perfect weeknight meal, right here.
My oldest sons love drumsticks because it’s a dandy excuse to eat with their hands. My youngest fussbudget, who is always sloppy in his eating, refuses to pick up his drumsticks. Go figure. I love a good drumstick prepared like this, without fuss.
Simple sometimes is the best. These drumsticks look delicious.
I’m always looking for new chicken recipes. This sounds perfect! Love the simplicity of this Pam!
Those look good Pam. Simple or not, my son would devour these. He’s a leg eatin’ fool.
Perfect, this is just what I was looking for. I’ve got drumsticks and no motivation to make anything fancy! Thank you!
Should the chicken be direct from the freezer or first defrosted?
Hi Bert,
Defrosted.
