We love chicken drumsticks; this is one of the best recipes that I have ever tried! Chicken legs are cheap and everything in this recipe is probably ready in your kitchen, and it is easy!
There are countless reasons why chicken is a go-to food for every meal. Not only is it delicious, it’s also easy to prepare and fairly inexpensive. When it comes to meal planning, there are two key elements to finding success: Timing and variety. If you don’t mix things up, everyone in your table will get bored of eating the same thing every day.

I made chicken drumsticks today too (sticky Asian themed marinade and basted while being oven baked) but other than sprinkling some sesame seeds over the top … well, they were kind of plain. Certainly, they didn’t have cute little ‘booties’ to keep the diner’s hands clean. 🙂
Very nice assortment of dips.
