Easy Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks Recipe:
These chicken drumsticks can be grilled or baked in the oven. If it's blazing hot outside, there's no way I'm turning on the oven. If I'm hankering for some buffalo chicken in the winter, the oven works great for this recipe too.
We love serving these chicken drumsticks with ranch dressing but there's a variation of a ranch dressing we love too.
If you mix half ranch dressing with half of the prepared buffalo sauce, it makes a great combo. We call this amazing sauce at our house and love to have it with chicken, pizza, quesadillas, and fries. It's creamy, sweet, and spicy.

How To Make Homemade Buffalo Sauce:

Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients
Grilled or Baked Chicken Drumsticks
- 6 large chicken drumsticks
- salt and pepper
Buffalo Sauce
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Combine the Franks Red Hot Sauce and the brown sugar in a saucepan on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Let it cool. It can be poured back into the container and used for pizza, eggs, on chicken or steak.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken on both side and cook until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer or cook until the meat starts to pull away from the drumstick bone.
- When the chicken is almost done, using a pastry brush, brush the buffalo glaze onto the chicken. Let the glaze cook on the chicken for the last couple minutes of grilling, turning once, to ensure the chicken has a thick layer of glaze. Take the chicken off the grill or out of the oven and spread the glaze on the chicken once more before serving. Enjoy!
