Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2-2.5 lbs)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (prepared)
- 1 tbsp Italian dressing mix (1/2 envelope Good Seasonings mix)
- 2 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Prep the chicken by patting the drumsticks dry. If any skin has been torn or pushed down, pull it back into place.
- Mix the bbq sauce, Italian dressing mix, and butter until combined.
- Brush each chicken leg with the BBQ sauce mixture on all sides, then set equally spaced on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then quickly brush an additional coat of BBQ sauce on each side and flip the bottom side to the top. Continue to bake for an additional 8-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
- Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping if desired!
Notes
- Line the baking sheet with foil for extra easy clean up
- If you like your drumsticks extra saucy, brush the chicken with extra BBQ sauce when done cooking.
