SPICY EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Combine beer, mustard, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken drumsticks; turn to coat evenly. Seal bag, squeezing out all the air.
• Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place drumsticks and sauce into a baking dish, discarding the plastic bag.
• Transfer drumsticks and marinade to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check chicken and remove cover if desired. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH BROCCOLI ORZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and golden and the drumsticks register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the broccoli, orzo, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the orzo is al dente and the broccoli begins to get very soft, about 15 minutes. If the pan starts to look too dry, add another splash of chicken broth. Stir in the Parmesan, then use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly mash the broccoli, breaking it up into very small pieces.
• Serve the drumsticks over the broccoli orzo and garnish with more Parmesan.

TORTILLA CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Oil a large 4-sided sheet pan.
• Pulse chips, 2 teaspoons chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until coarsely ground, then transfer to a shallow dish.
• Whisk egg and remaining 2 teaspoon chili powder in a bowl.
• Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dip drumsticks in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Transfer to sheet pan.
• Bake, without turning, until cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.
