Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 tablespoons BBQ sauce

  • 3 teaspoons yellow mustard


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven or Grill:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare grill for medium heat.

  • Prepare the Marinade:

    • In a bowl, mix garlic powder, BBQ sauce, and yellow mustard until well combined.

  • Coat the Drumsticks:

    • Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels.

    • Brush or toss the drumsticks in the BBQ marinade, coating evenly.

  • Cook the Drumsticks:

    • Oven method: Place drumsticks on a lined baking sheet or rack. Bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is caramelized.

    • Grill method: Grill over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, turning frequently and basting with extra BBQ sauce until cooked through and slightly charred.

  • Serve:

    • Let rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinate the drumsticks in the sauce for 1–2 hours before cooking.

  • Serve with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or baked beans for a classic BBQ meal.
