Method
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Mix together the softened butter, apple juice, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Arrange the chicken drumsticks on the lined baking sheet, and brush each drumstick generously with the butter mixture.
Roast the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through.
Brush with any remaining melted butter from the pan just before serving.
Notes
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
