Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with these smoky BBQ chicken drumsticks served alongside crispy fries and warm, toasty buns! A perfect meal for any gathering or a cozy night in.
Ingredients:
- Chicken drumsticks: 6-8 pieces
- Honey: 2 tbsp
- Chopped parsley: For garnish
- Burger buns: 2-3
- Garlic powder: 1 tsp
- Paprika: 1 tsp
- Salt & pepper: To taste
- BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
- Fries: 2 cups
Instructions:
1. Season the Drumsticks:
Start by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. In a bowl, season them generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Allow the drumsticks to marinate for about 15 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
2. Cook the Chicken:
For Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through, carefully baste the drumsticks with BBQ sauce to enhance the flavor.
For Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the drumsticks for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes for a mouthwatering glaze.
3. Prepare the Fries:
If using frozen fries, cook them according to package instructions until they're golden and crispy. If you prefer homemade fries, cut potatoes into thin strips, toss them in oil and season with salt, then bake or fry until crispy.
4. Toast the Buns:
Take the burger buns and lightly toast them in a pan or on the grill until they are golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
5. Assemble the Plate:
Serve the BBQ chicken drumsticks on a plate alongside the crispy fries and toasted burger buns. Don’t forget a small bowl of extra BBQ sauce for dipping! Garnish your meal with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Enjoy your delicious and satisfying BBQ chicken meal!
