Posted on by
buffalo chicken drumsticks on a plate with celery and bluecheese

Makes about 10-15 drumsticks.

Poultry skin makes the drumsticks crispier and moister. To trim calories and fat, remove the skin before adding the seasonings.

Ingredients

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 3 ½ pounds chicken drumsticks*
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/4 to
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup hot sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Pat drumsticks dry with a paper towel; arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Then, sprinkle the seasoning blend all over the drumsticks, being sure to coat and pat all sides well.
  4. Place the drumsticks in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Then, remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush the hot sauce over the tops and bottoms; then place back in the oven for 10 minutes more.
  5. If you like them extra-fiery, brush additional hot sauce on top right before serving.
  6. Enjoy with low-fat ranch dressing for dipping.
