- Let the drumsticks marinate for at least 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.
Stage 2:BAKE
- Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on a 9x13-inch casserole pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a 400 F preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F, as read on a meat thermometer.
Stage 3(optional):BROIL
