Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs Chicken Drumsticks skin on
  • 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place drumsticks in a large mixing bowl. Use a paper towel and pat them dry, then season with salt and pepper on all sides. Drizzle with a couple tablespoons of avocado oil. Use tongs to coat the drumsticks with the oil.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush each drumstick with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the BBQ sauce on the drumsticks is caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the drumsticks from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
