Spicy Chicken Drumsticks

Spicy Chicken drumsticks with red hot wings Sauce and zesty orange fragrance.  Also, check out the recipe for skinless Baked Tanduri Chicken.


Ingredients:
Chicken Drumsticks - 8
Oil preferably Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tbsp
Spicy Brown Mustard - 1 tbsp
Spanish Paprika or Chilli Powder - 2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper - 1 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
Garlic and Herb Seasoning - 1 1/2 tsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Buffalo Wings Sauce - 2 tbsp
Orange Zest - 1 tsp
Salt



How to bake Buffalo style Chicken:
1. In a mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag, add oil, vinegar, brown mustard, paprika (for color), cayenne pepper (for heat), black pepper, garlic and herb seasoning and salt.  Mix all the ingredients well.  I used chicken drumsticks with skin, discard the skin for lesser calories.  Coat the chicken drumsticks in this marinade well.  Let the chicken marinate for 4 - 5 hours or overnight.  Get creative and feel free to add your favorite seasonings as well.
2. Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F.  Use a baking tray with a mesh.  Mix the chicken drumsticks again and place them on the mesh.  Bake them uncovered for 30 - 40 minutes till chicken skin turns crisp.  
3. Buffalo Sauce: Microwave butter in a microwave safe bowl for about a minute.  Add orange zest (grated orange peel) and Buffalo sauce to the melted butter.  Mix well and coat the baked drumsticks well.  Add more buffalo sauce and/or orange zest if you like.
4. Bake the chicken drumsticks at 375 degrees F for another 10 minutes.  Enjoy hot spicy Chicken Drumsticks with lemon.
