Tips:

  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check to see if the chicken is cooked by cutting into one of the drummettes. The meat should be white and opaque, with no pink in the center.
  • Serve the chipotle chicken drummettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
  • For a healthier version of this recipe, you can bake the chicken drummettes instead of frying them.
