Notes

For crispier skin, you can broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking. Make sure to coat the drumsticks well in the sauce to lock in flavor. Experiment with different BBQ sauces to find your favorite taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or frozen for up to 3 months.
