• Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place drumsticks and sauce into a baking dish, discarding the plastic bag.
• Transfer drumsticks and marinade to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check chicken and remove cover if desired. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Stir together smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Gently lift the skin and sprinkle in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning blend, using a fingertip to spread the seasoning around under the skin. Brush both sides of each leg quarter with melted butter.
