How people cook with it

To cook, preheat your oven or grill. Place the seasoned drumsticks on a baking sheet or directly on the grill grates. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. For oven baking, this usually takes about 30-40 minutes. Grilling times may vary depending on the heat. You can also pan-fry them or incorporate them into slow cooker recipes. Ensure they are cooked through before serving.
