Baked drumsticks?

Question

I'm cooking barbeque drumsticks in the oven, how long do they need to bake for? I'm used to making barbeque chicken breasts, which takes about 30 minutes, but those are boneless.

Answer 1

I cook mine (skinless, and lightly breaded) at about 375 for 55 min, then let sit 5 min.... I spray the pan with oil first, then bake on one side for 30 min, then turn over with tongs and bake another 25 min.

(when you say barbeque, I'm assuming you mean they have a barbeque marinade or rub so the covering isn't thick enough to need to be baked longer)

Answer 2

I always put mine in the oven on a really high 400+ heat for about 20 min. till they start getting golden brown. Then turn oven down to about 300 and cook for about 45 min more. They will be golden and delicious, add BBQ sauce at the end right before removing from oven.
