Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, you can add some red pepper flakes or a few splashes of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce mixture. If you’re not a fan of drumsticks, this recipe works beautifully with chicken thighs or even a mix of drumsticks and wings. For a healthier option, try using skinless drumsticks and reduce the BBQ sauce slightly.
