Coat the drumsticks in a sauce made with oil, garlic, herbs, and seasonings, then arrange them in a baking dish and roast until cooked through. Turn them once during cooking so the sauce coats the chicken evenly.
Bake chicken drumsticks with sauce in a preheated oven at about 400°F (200°C). Oven performance and drumstick size vary, so check the thickest part with a food thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C), without touching the bone.
Baked chicken drumsticks with sauce usually take around 40–50 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Larger pieces or a crowded pan may take longer, so use a thermometer and make sure the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).
To keep the sauce on baked chicken drumsticks from burning, roast them on the middle rack and loosely cover the dish with foil at first. Remove the foil near the end to brown the chicken. Add sauces containing honey or sugar late in cooking.
For crispy skin on baked chicken drumsticks with sauce, pat the skin dry before cooking and avoid covering it with a thick layer of sauce. Finish under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely so the sauce does not scorch.
A garlic-and-herb sauce works especially well on baked chicken drumsticks, while barbecue sauce gives them a sweeter, smoky finish. For a tangier option, use lemon, olive oil, and herbs; brush on sugary sauces toward the end so they do not burn.
Yes, potatoes can roast in the same pan as chicken drumsticks with sauce. Cut them into similar-sized pieces and spread everything in a single layer; an overcrowded pan traps steam and makes both the chicken skin and potatoes less crisp.
Baked chicken drumsticks with sauce are safely cooked when the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C) on a food thermometer, with the probe kept away from the bone. Without a thermometer, check that the meat beside the bone is no longer raw or pink.
Leftover baked chicken drumsticks with sauce keep for three to four days in the refrigerator when stored in a covered container. Refrigerate them within two hours of cooking, and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
Serve baked chicken drumsticks with sauce with roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad. If the chicken is already roasted with potatoes, a simple coleslaw or leafy salad adds freshness alongside the savory sauce.

Baked chicken drumstick with sauce is made by coating the lower part of the chicken leg in sauce and cooking it in the oven. The sauce varies: home recipes may use tomato, herbs, spices, oil, or other ingredients, so the result can range from savoury and mild to boldly seasoned.
It is a familiar home-style main dish in many places, served hot with potatoes, rice, bread, or vegetables. The meat is tender near the bone, while the skin can turn crisp as it bakes. It provides plenty of protein; the skin and sauce contribute to its fat content. For a lighter meal, remove the skin and serve it with vegetables or a fresh salad.
