Easy Baked Chicken Drumsticks
These oven-baked chicken drumsticks make the easiest dinner with minimal effort! It was a meal my mother-in-law introduced me to when she lived with us. Drumsticks are a cheap protein, incredibly delicious, and kid-friendly! Simply, smear with mayo, season, and bake!
Equipment
- 1 large baking dish or baking sheet
- Set of measuring spoons and cups, (make sure your spoons have a 1/2 Tbsp option)
Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken drumsticks , (skin-on and bone-in)
- 1/3 cup homemade mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Frank's hot sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Montreal Chicken Seasoning

- Wash and pat dry the chicken drumsticks. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 12 drumsticks, 1/3 cup mayo, 1 Tbsp hot sauce, 1/2 Tbsp each of garlic salt, and Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Coat all the chicken pieces evenly.
- Arrange all the chicken drumsticks in a greased large baking dish (about 15x10 or larger sheet pan).
