CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN
For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.
Tips:
- Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before baking the chicken drumsticks. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
- Use a baking sheet with a wire rack to allow the chicken drumsticks to cook evenly on all sides.
- Season the chicken drumsticks with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help create a flavorful crust.
- Bake the chicken drumsticks for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken drumsticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Crispy baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a party appetizer.
