Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix. If you have picky eaters, you can also bake the drumsticks plain with just the basic seasoning, and let everyone add their preferred amount of barbecue sauce at the table. To make this recipe even more hands-off, you can use a slow cooker: place seasoned drumsticks in the slow cooker, cover with barbecue sauce, and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
