The moment I spotted this recipe, I knew I had to make it. It was absolutely delicious!

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush a generous amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce over each drumstick.
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Variations & Tips

For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix. If you have picky eaters, you can also bake the drumsticks plain with just the basic seasoning, and let everyone add their preferred amount of barbecue sauce at the table. To make this recipe even more hands-off, you can use a slow cooker: place seasoned drumsticks in the slow cooker, cover with barbecue sauce, and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
