Baked Barbecued Chicken Drummettes

I swear these are truly an exquisite!

It’s high time I introduce my new obsession. I lack words when it comes to describing these drummettes. I would rather prefer finishing up the plate in just one sitting to show you how insanely delicious they are. No Kidding! Besides the taste a couple other things that make me love them even more are that they got the barbecue flavor and are “BAKED”.

Nowadays, when I come across drummettes at the meat section, I can barely resist them. Even without my knowledge I will have a few packs of them jumping into my shopping cart. Lately, I have been getting frequent requests from my husband to make this. And I never turn him down for this particular request as I will be craving for these more than him 😛

I cannot adore enough about the simplicity of the ingredients this recipe calls for. With just three main simple ingredients, you get to taste a myriad of flavor in your mouth. Ain’t that amazing?

In winter, I always look forward to summer just to throw drummettes, corn and almost everything on the Barbecue grill. After making this, now I know how to get the feel of summer barbecue fun in this freezing weather.

So guys, make sure to pile up drummettes on your shopping cart and let the barbecue fun begin.
