Tips & Tricks:
-
Chicken Drumsticks: Use chicken drumsticks, thighs, and/or bone-in breast. Whether you use one or all of the options, ask the butcher to remove the skin off the chicken.
-
Cookware: You’ll need a 9×13 baking dish. Here is my favorite; I use for EVERYTHING: https://amzn.to/3lDYGTn
-
Baking Dish: Grease the dish with real butter; this adds a little extra delicious flavor. You can also use a nonstick spray in place of the butter.

dip the chicken in the butter so it’s well-coated
