Spicy Agave Drumsticks Recipes

SPICY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Wipe the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, chili powder and cayenne pepper to create a paste. Pour the paste over the chicken pieces and, using your hands or a pastry brush, coat the chicken on all sides.
• Bake the drumsticks until cooked through (their internal temperature should reach 165ºF) and juices run clear, about 40 minutes. Check them after the first 30 minutes and loosely cover them with foil if they seem to be darkening too fast on top.
• If you wish, garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes, then serve.
