Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and turn them until each piece is coated with the mixture.
  • Place the drumsticks on the baking sheet with space between them and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and brush each drumstick generously with BBQ sauce.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce looks sticky and the chicken reaches 165°F inside.

Notes

For deeper color and more wing-like appearance, brush on a second thin layer of BBQ sauce in the last five minutes of baking. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days and reheat well in a 350°F oven to bring back some crispness on the skin. If you want a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne to the initial coating mix before baking.
