Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake for around 55 minutes, or longer if not fully defrosted.

Remove chicken from the oven and place it into a bowl.

Remove the meat from the bone and chop or shred it into pieces.

Warm store-bought flour tortillas in a microwave for 30 to 45 seconds to make them pliable.

Roll the tortillas tightly around the chopped chicken and place seam side down.

Preheat oil for frying and test with a chopstick; if it bubbles around the edges, it's ready.

Place flautas seam side down in the hot oil and hold for 15 seconds to seal.

Fry flautas in shallow oil for around 1 minute until crunchy and golden brown on the exterior.

Prepare a dipping sauce by combining roasted jalapeno, roasted garlic, lime, avocado, cilantro, ranch dressing, and water in a food processor and blend until smooth.
