Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with Tony's Creole-Style Chicken Marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes.
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and sprinkle Tony's BOLD Creole Seasoning generously, massaging it into the meat.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to achieve a crispy exterior.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness while watching closely to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
