Easy Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks

chicken drumsticks

paprika

salt salt

pepper

cooking spray

hot sauce

unsalted butter, melted

molasses

cornstarch

blue cheese, ranch dressing, caesar dip

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. This easy sauce results in almost 1 cup of Buffalo Wing Sauce which is enough for this recipe. If using store-bought, make sure you have at least 3/4 cup.

Mix Buffalo Sauce

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and rack and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.

Rinse drumsticks and pat dry with paper towel.

Place paprika, salt and pepper in a large resealable bag. Add drumsticks and adjust until evenly coated. Remove from bag and press seasoning into drumsticks as you place on prepared sheet, spaced evenly apart.

Bake between 40-45 minutes. Skin should be crisp and the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.

Once cooked, coat them with Buffalo wing sauce. Bake for another 5 minutes.

Remove from oven and coat with more Buffalo wing sauce. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Chicken Drumsticks in the Oven

Coat slow cooker with cooking spray. Place seasoned chicken inside slow cooker. Cover and cook chicken until tender between 4 and 5 hours on low.

Adjust oven rack 6 inches from your broiler element and turn it on. Line a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and a rack coated with cooking spray. Transfer chicken to prepared rack.

Broil chicken until lightly charred, about 10 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through broiling.

Brush chicken with buffalo sauce and continue to broil until lightly charred, about 5 minutes, flipping and brushing chicken with more sauce halfway through broiling.

Brush chicken with remaining sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Serve with additional Buffalo wing sauce, creamy blue cheese dip, caesar parmesan dip, or buttermilk ranch dip on the side, if desired. The BEST DIPS EVER will give you a list of all of our favorite dips. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Just when you think nothing more good things can be said about chicken, along comes another terrific recipe like these baked Buffalo chicken drumsticks! My love for Buffalo chicken wings is lifelong. The only complaint, if you want to call it that, is there isn't enough meat on the wings for all of the effort involved in eating them.
