Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks about 2 1/2 pounds total
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil. Pat chicken dry, toss with oil and ranch seasoning, and space out on the pan.
  2. Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway. Brush with barbecue sauce and roast 15–20 minutes more until at least 165°F away from bone; 175–185°F is more tender.
  3. For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching constantly. Rest 5 minutes. Discard any sauce contacted by the basting brush.
