Simple Chicken Drumsticks

I was in the mood for some simple chicken drumsticks for dinner. These baked chicken drumsticks were so basic to prepare, smelled amazing while they baked, and tasted great. Sometimes it’s nice to make simple food instead of fancy rubs, marinades, and cooking techniques. I served these drumsticks with Garlic Rice and a delicious chopped salad. The whole meal was a hit with my entire family–I love that.

  1. 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.

  2. Perfect, this is just what I was looking for. I’ve got drumsticks and no motivation to make anything fancy! Thank you!
