Oven Baked BBQ Chicken The Right Way| Juicy and Delicious

chicken drumsticks

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken wings

Thighs are lower in fat and wings are often cheaper.

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

💰Cheaper: store-brand BBQ sauce

Homemade can be healthier with less sugar.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

In a bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, slap yo mama seasoning, old bay seasoning, onion powder, paprika, dry parsley, and dry thyme.

Coat the chicken drumsticks with the spice mixture evenly.

Place the drumsticks on the wire rack.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush generously with BBQ sauce (not mentioned in the ingredients).

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce is caramelized.

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
