Chicken Drumsticks in Oven

This oven-baked chicken drumsticks recipe uses a seasoned Bisquick coating and melted butter for a crispy, flavorful crust. The drumsticks are baked at high heat then flipped to finish cooking, producing tender meat with a spiced, golden exterior. Butter bastes keep the coating moist and add richness.
