Chicken Drumsticks

Chicken drumsticks are incredibly cheap and easy to make. There are a ton of recipes but here are two of my favorites (excluding the southern fried variety)

Baked Chicken Drumsticks

Wash and dry your chicken. Toss in a large bowl with olive oil until coated. Melted butter or coconut oil also work.  Choose a rub that works for you. I didn't put amounts because it will depend on how much chicken you have. I also like to blend all the spices together and taste it before rubbing on the chicken.

Chicken Drumstick Non-Spicy Rub

1 part Garlic powder (or crushed garlic)

1 part Onion Powder

1/2 part Salt

1 part Pepper

1-2 part Italian Seasoning (optional)

Chicken Drumstick Spicy Rub

1 part cumin

1 part curry 

1 part chili powder

1/2 part ground allspice

1/2 part ground cinnamon

1/4 part pepper

1/8 part cayenne pepper

Touch of salt

Just rub the rub over the chicken and lay out on a lined cookie sheet. Cook at 350 degrees for about 45 mins to 1 hour. Internal temp should be 165 degrees.  Serve with veggies of your choice!

Wash and dry your chicken. Toss with melted butter and crushed garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hour until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.  

While the chicken is cooking, melt 4-6 Tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan. Add 1 cup of Frank's Red Hot Original Hot Sauce. Let it simmer. I have never gotten it to get really thick but it will thicken a little. 

After the chicken is done, place in a bowl and toss with the hot sauce. Serve with a cool Blue Cheese Wedge Salad.
