Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 -Put the drumsticks into an oven-safe glass dish large enough that they can fit in a single layer.
Step 3 -Mix the water, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, butter, salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili powder all together in a bowl.
Step 4 -Pour the mixture over the drumsticks, and cover the dish with foil.
Step 5 -Bake the dish in the oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part not touching the bone reads 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Make sure to turn the chicken about halfway through.
Step 6 -Take the dish out of the oven, and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7 -Serve warm.
