For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken drumsticks in the BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, before baking.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the level of spiciness. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for an extra kick.
If the sauce becomes too thick during baking, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out.
Serve these delectable drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, coleslaw, or grilled corn on the cob.
To achieve maximum crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
