FAQ:

Can I use drumsticks with skin on or off?
You can use either! However, leaving the skin on helps the chicken stay juicy and allows the barbecue sauce to adhere better.

Can I grill the chicken instead of baking it?
Yes, grilling the chicken drumsticks gives them an extra smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high and cook the drumsticks for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, then brush with barbecue sauce in the last few minutes of grilling.

What kind of barbecue sauce should I use?
You can use any kind of barbecue sauce you like—sweet, tangy, smoky, or spicy. For a homemade touch, try making your own sauce with ingredients like ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices.

Can I make this meal ahead of time?
You can prep the chicken and fries ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat the chicken and fries in the oven before serving for the best results.
