What temperature do you bake drumsticks?
The ideal baking temperature for drumsticks is 375°F (190°C).
Here's a general guideline:
* 375°F (190°C): This temperature is perfect for achieving crispy skin and tender meat. It's a good all-around temperature for most chicken recipes.
* 400°F (200°C): If you want extra crispy skin, you can bump up the temperature slightly. However, be careful not to overcook the chicken.
* 350°F (175°C): If you prefer a more gentle bake, you can lower the temperature slightly. This will result in more tender meat, but the skin might not be as crispy.
Important tips:
* Bake for 40-60 minutes: The exact baking time will depend on the size of the drumsticks and your oven.
* Use a meat thermometer: To ensure the drumsticks are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
* Rest before serving: Let the drumsticks rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.
For best results:
* Pat the drumsticks dry: This will help the skin to crisp up.
* Season generously: Use your favorite spices and herbs.
* Baste with sauce or butter: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
