Method
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Add the chicken drumsticks and toss them to coat completely.
- Spread the coated drumsticks out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and brush it with barbeque sauce. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 7 to 8 minutes.
- Flip the drumsticks over, brush them again with barbeque sauce, and bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on your oven's broiler.
- Brush the drumsticks with more barbeque sauce and place them under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the drumsticks, brush with sauce again, and broil for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) near the bone.
