- Make sure the chicken is completely thawed before cooking. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken drumsticks. This will help the marinade penetrate the chicken and flavor it more deeply.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken drumsticks in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken drumsticks over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Baste the chicken drumsticks with the marinade several times during cooking. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken drumsticks immediately with your favorite sides.
