1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 cups ketchup

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Marinate the chicken drumsticks: Marinating the chicken drumsticks in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can experiment with more complex marinades.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start cooking the chicken drumsticks. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Cook the chicken drumsticks until they are cooked through: The cooking time for chicken drumsticks will vary depending on the size of the drumsticks and the temperature of the oven. However, as a general rule of thumb, chicken drumsticks should be cooked for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken drumsticks rest before serving: After the chicken drumsticks are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken and prevent them from drying out.
