They work just as well in casseroles and slow cooked dishes as they do marinated and baked or barbecued. We’ve pulled together our favourite chicken drumstick recipes (and a few chicken maryland options) for you to enjoy. Because we all have more important things to worry about than what to have for dinner tonight.

An easy way to marinate chicken drumsticks
Resealable plastic bags provide a convenient method for marinating or seasoning chicken drumsticks. Simply add the chicken and marinade or spice mix to the bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal it tightly. Gently massage the bag to evenly coat the chicken. Lay the bag flat on a tray in the refrigerator, turning it occasionally for even absorption. To reduce waste, consider washing and reusing the bags or recycling them at a soft plastics facility if available in your area. Alternatively, opt for reusable silicone food bags.
