  • Bake the chicken: Place the chicken in a large baking dish and pour the sauce over each piece. Flip the pieces to ensure they're fully covered in sauce.

Notes

  2. Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet and allow to freeze till frozen through, place the drumsticks in a freezer bag or an air tight container after wards and this method will allow them to keep for 4 – 6 months. Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw in the fridge over night when ready to eat. Just reheat in the oven at 350 F degrees till warmed through and enjoy!
