• If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
• To make the coating extra crispy, you can spray the drumsticks with cooking spray before baking.
• These drumsticks can also be grilled instead of baked for a smoky flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover drumsticks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
