Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 12 chicken drumettes
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken drumettes to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  • Spread the drumettes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven.
  • Pour the BBQ sauce over the drumettes and toss gently to coat them all.
  • Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the edges darken.

Notes

Let the drumettes rest for five minutes after baking so the sauce sets and does not slide off when moved to a platter. If the BBQ sauce is very thick, warm it slightly before tossing so it spreads evenly. Leftovers reheat best in a 350-degree oven for 8 minutes to restore crisp edges without drying the meat.
