How to Make Easy BBQ Chicken Drumsticks in an Oven

Aunt Lou here.

If you have tried either of our Crock Pot Chicken Drumstick or Instant Pot Chicken Drumsticks recipes, you know how amazing they are! When picking out the recipe I wanted to convert to an oven recipe for this week, Cris and I both agreed this Easy BBQ Chicken Drumstick recipe would be perfect!

This recipe is incredibly delicious! Not only do you have an amazing flavor baked into the chicken, this recipe gives you wonderfully juicy and tender chicken drumsticks with a nice crisp outside after you broil it. Michael loves to use our grill. He has made chicken legs on it many times. After he tried this recipe, he looked at me and said, “These are amazing! I can’t make them this juicy on the grill, and the flavor is awesome!” High praise coming from my food loving husband! High praise indeed!

There are a lot of ingredients in the ingredient list (as you will see below). Don’t let that scare you away if you are new to cooking. This really is a super easy recipe. It is sure to be a boost to your cooking confidence once you have served up these amazing chicken drumsticks!
