Instructions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it, set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together the drumsticks, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke (if using) and seasonings until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for about 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until golden brown, crispy and a thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Make sure to flip over halfway through roasting. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter and BBQ sauce. Dip the drumsticks in the sauce, making sure to coat both sides, and then return to baking sheet. Return to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes. Serve chicken with blue cheese or ranch and carrots and celery. Enjoy!
