  • 1 cup 240 milliliters barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons 30 milliliters olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon 15 milliliters soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon 15 milliliters brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon 5 milliliters garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon 5 milliliters onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 milliliters smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Coat Chicken: Pour half of the sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks and toss them until evenly coated.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Flip and Brush: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the drumsticks over using tongs and brush the remaining sauce mixture evenly over the top.
  • Continue Baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious baked BBQ chicken drumsticks!
