At that oven temperature, the chicken always turns out tender, juicy and perfectly golden brown. Should I Cover Chicken Legs When Baking?No. Bake the chicken uncovered for a nice golden brown exterior with chicken skin that gets caramelized and beautifully crispy as it holds the flavors of the marinade. At What Oven Temperature Should I Bake Chicken Drumsticks?You want the oven to be nice and hot so you can get a nice color on the chicken legs. This recipe bakes the chicken drumsticks at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Can I Use Chicken Thighs To Make This Recipe?Yes. You can use bone-in chicken thighs as well as legs and wings. When roasting/baking chicken, I prefer to use chicken with the skin-on. The skin serves as a layer of protection to prevent the meat from drying out. You can make this recipe with bone-in skinless chicken thighs and legs also, but I suggest you baste the pieces once during cooking time. Bone-in, skin-on chicken breast can be used but the baking time will need some adjustment. Can This Chicken Drumstick Recipe Be Made Ahead?Yes! This super easy dinner recipe can be made ahead.

The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when you check on the thickest part of the leg (without touching the bone). What Is The Safe Temperature For Cooked Chicken?For safety, always cook chicken until the juices run clear and the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy. Chicken DrumsticksAccording to Google, you get 4 drumsticks in a pound.
