Spicy Easy Baked Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

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-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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.
