BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Fries & Buns

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

– Chicken drumsticks: 6-8 pieces
– BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
– Paprika: 1 tsp
– Honey: 2 tbsp
– Salt & pepper: To taste
– Garlic powder: 1 tsp
– Fries: 2 cups
– Burger buns: 2-3
– Chopped parsley: For garnish

 

Instructions:

1. *Season the Drumsticks*: Begin by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Allow the seasoned drumsticks to marinate for about 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

2. *Bake or Grill the Drumsticks*: Choose your cooking method:
– *Baking*: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the marinated drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, and remember to baste with half of the BBQ sauce about halfway through for that extra kick of flavor.
– *Grilling*: If you prefer grilling, heat your grill to medium. Place the drumsticks on the grill, turning them occasionally. Grill for about 25-30 minutes, brushing them with BBQ sauce during cooking for a beautifully caramelized finish.

3. *Prepare the Fries*: While the chicken cooks, you can prepare the fries. Bake or fry the fries according to your preferred method until they are golden brown and crispy. Lightly sprinkle salt over them once cooked to enhance their flavor.

4. *Toast the Buns*: For your buns, lightly toast them on a pan or grill until golden for added flavor. This will give them a delightful crispness.

5. *Assemble the Plate*: Serve the BBQ drumsticks on a plate alongside the crispy fries and toasted buns. Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the chicken, and garnish the dish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Enjoy your smoky, tangy BBQ chicken meal that’s sure to impress!
