SPICY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Wipe the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, chili powder and cayenne pepper to create a paste. Pour the paste over the chicken pieces and, using your hands or a pastry brush, coat the chicken on all sides.
• Bake the drumsticks until cooked through (their internal temperature should reach 165ºF) and juices run clear, about 40 minutes. Check them after the first 30 minutes and loosely cover them with foil if they seem to be darkening too fast on top.
• If you wish, garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes, then serve.

BUFFALO DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry the drumsticks. Mix the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss the drumsticks in the seasoned oil to coat well. Bake the drumsticks on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet (so air circulates around chicken) until very tender and the skin is crisp, 50 minutes.
• For the spicy sauce: Mix together the butter, hot sauce and BBQ sauce in a large bowl.
• Toss the drumsticks in the spicy sauce until well coated. Place the drumsticks back on the rack and continue baking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cook's Note: For an alternate milder sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, juice and zest of 1 lime, 1 clove of garlic, minced and some salt and pepper.
