Spicy-Sweet Baked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.

Step 2

Mix the flour, corn starch, and salt together in a bowl. Using paper towels, dry each drumstick and roll them in the flour mixture for a light dusting. Then lay them out on the baking sheets, evenly spaced.

Step 3

Bake the drumsticks for 30 minutes, flipping once.

Step 4

In the meantime, pour the pineapple juice and all remaining ingredients in a sauce pot. (If you are sensitive to heat, add 1/4 cup Sriracha; if you really like spicy food, add 1/2 cup.) Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Then pour the sauce over the drumsticks evenly. Roll the drumsticks around in it to coat, and place back in the oven, uncovered.

Step 6

Bake another 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the drumsticks are well coated. Serve warm.
