Spicy Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

SPICY-SWEET BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
• Mix the flour, corn starch, and salt together in a bowl. Using paper towels, dry each drumstick and roll them in the flour mixture for a light dusting. Then lay them out on the baking sheets, evenly spaced.
• Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes, flipping once.
• In the meantime, pour the pineapple juice and all remaining ingredients in a sauce pot. (If you are sensitive to heat, add 1/4 cup Sriracha; if you really like spicy food, add 1/2 cup.) Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Then pour the sauce over the drumsticks evenly. Roll the drumsticks around in it to coat, and place back in the oven, uncovered.
• Bake another 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the drumsticks are well coated. Serve warm.

SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line baking sheets with foil.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic, and stir. Set aside.
• Rinse and pat the chicken legs dry. With metal tongs, dip them one by one into the butter mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Once all of the chicken legs are coated and on the baking sheet, take a pastry brush and give them one last coating of the butter mixture.
• Place them into the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, basting a couple of times during roasting. If they need a bit more color, turn on the broiler for a couple minutes and watch them closely.
• Remove them when they are nice and golden brown and fully cooked.

OVEN-BAKED SPICY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 400F/200C.
• Add marinade ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined. Reserve 1/4 of the marinade for basting later.
• Next, add drumsticks to the marinade and mix until well combined. Option: If you have extra time then feel free to cover the drums with cling film in a bowl and leave them to marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge. This will intensify the flavors of the chicken.
• Add marinated chicken drums to a greased oven tray and bake for 30 minutes. Flip drums over and baste with marinade every 5 minutes.

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.

SPICY HOT CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Place the drumsticks in a slow cooker, and sprinkle evenly with pieces of butter. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or until tender. Serve chicken legs with blue cheese dressing on the side.

SPICY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Make the chili paste: In a food processor, purée the green onions, chilies, vinegar, garlic, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper into a thick paste.
• Coat the chicken drumsticks with the chili paste: Put the drumsticks in a large bowl and coat with the chili paste. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Prepare oven and chicken for broiling: Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and set the broiler to high. Coat the bottom of a broiler pan (under the perforated top part of the pan) with oil. (Note that a broiler pan really works best here. A regular baking pan may warp under the high heat of the broiler.) Arrange the drumsticks on the pan and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Broil the chicken: Broil chicken, turning once after about 10 minutes. Continue broiling until cooked through (juices run clear when poked with a knife tip) and nicely browned, about 20 minutes total. Note that some pieces may cook faster than others, in which case remove the pieces that are done and continue to cook the rest until cooked through. Adapted from a recipe in Fine Cooking magazine.

SPICY EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Combine beer, mustard, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken drumsticks; turn to coat evenly. Seal bag, squeezing out all the air.
• Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place drumsticks and sauce into a baking dish, discarding the plastic bag.
• Transfer drumsticks and marinade to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check chicken and remove cover if desired. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
