Step 1

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.

Step 2

Mix the bbq sauce, Italian dressing mix, and butter until combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping if desired!
