Blog tip – best method for cooking chicken drumsticks

Firstly, it is important to make sure that your chicken drumsticks are at room temperature before cooking. This will help ensure even cooking and prevent them from getting dry or overcooked. The best way to cook chicken drumsticks is by grilling or baking them in the oven. These methods allow the chicken to get nice and crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside.

A simple and easy low-carb recipe that will give your chicken a hot and sweet flavor.

What we think

“The chicken was so succulent but very sweet. Next time I will reduce the amount of sweetener put in. The recipe total time did not include the pre-cooking of the chicken which took me an extra 20 minutes (our recipe card is correct). I used drumsticks instead of wings and the recipe worked wonderfully. The recipe stated 20 servings. As a family of four, this was a substantial lunch for us. I’m going to have to mark this one down quite a bit as the sweetener flavor was over powering. I will be revisiting this recipe in the future to try it with less sweetener. A disappointing 2 out of 5 stars.”
