How to serve
Serve with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal. Adding a side of rice or corn on the cob makes it more filling. A tangy dipping sauce, like barbecue or ranch, pairs well with the smoky taste.

Let the drumsticks cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep them moist and avoid drying out the meat.
