How long should you bake drumsticks in the oven?

The baking time for drumsticks depends on a few factors, including:

* Size of the drumsticks: Larger drumsticks will take longer to cook than smaller ones.

* Oven temperature: A higher oven temperature will cook the drumsticks faster.

* Whether the drumsticks are bone-in or boneless: Bone-in drumsticks will take longer to cook than boneless ones.

Here's a general guideline:

* For bone-in drumsticks:

* 350°F (175°C): 45-60 minutes

* 400°F (200°C): 30-40 minutes

* For boneless drumsticks:

* 350°F (175°C): 30-40 minutes

* 400°F (200°C): 20-30 minutes

To ensure the drumsticks are cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Tips for Baking Drumsticks:

* Pre-heat your oven. This will ensure even cooking.

* Pat the drumsticks dry. This will help them brown nicely.

* Season them well. Salt, pepper, and other spices will add flavor.

* Use a baking sheet with a rack. This will allow air to circulate around the drumsticks.

* Check the drumsticks regularly. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on your oven and the size of the drumsticks.

* Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute.
