Recipe video above. Super crunchy baked drumsticks that are generously seasoned with an addictive zingy kick from black pepper and cayenne. It's not blow-your-head off but it has a very warm buzz! Just omit the cayenne and reduce the pepper to make it kid friendly. It's so seasoned you don't need a sauce for dunking but if you want something quick but great, use my honey mustard or pink sauce - both recipes in the notes.
