Should You Bake Chicken Drumsticks Covered or Uncovered

Ryan Liebe

When it comes to dinner, we all want something simple yet delicious. One of the best go-to meals that fit that description is chicken, specifically chicken drumsticks because you can do so much with them. There are hundreds of chicken drumstick recipes that are savory, sweet, spicy, and perhaps a mix of all three to satisfy everyones tastebuds. Even better? It's often a quick fix for a hungry crowd because of how easy it is to marinate, and toss into a crock pot. Pull it off the bone, shred it, or eat it as you're meant to (with your hands!). There's so much variety, especially among these 25 chicken drumstick recipes that contain everything from lime and brown sugar, to bacon, that you simply can't help but cook some up. Dinner will be made simple, but the flavors you put into your mouth won't be.

Chicken Osso Buco

Though this dish is traditionally made with veal shank, this recipe shaves off a lot of fat and sodium by using chicken and just two teaspoons of olive oil — allowing a heady mix of spices to do the work instead.
