Baked Chicken Drumsticks (Mom’s Recipe)
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
These baked chicken drumsticks are finger-lickin’ good! They are tender and flavorful with a crisp salty skin.
My Mom makes these all the time and uses the same recipe for bone-in chicken thighs. The marinade only needs 4 simple ingredients that everyone has in their pantry, but my Mom’s brilliant method will become your secret weapon for marinating all kinds of bone-in-chicken.
Baked chicken drumsticks are perfect for parties because they are inexpensive, easy to prepare, and satisfy a crowd.
Marinating overnight produces supremely tender and flavorful chicken drumsticks. The seasoning penetrates the meat resulting in perfectly seasoned chicken from the crispy skin to the tender center.
Ingredients for Baked Chicken Drumsticks:
4 1/2 to 5 lbs (1 large pack) chicken drumsticks
1 medium yellow onion, pureed*
2 Tbsp mayo
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp salt
Optional if you want a little spice: 1 to 2 Tbsp Jamaica me sweet hot and crazy sauce
*You can either puree onion using the star side on a box grater or chop into pieces and puree in a food processor or blender. Onion should be consistency of applesauce.
How to Make Delicious Baked Chicken Drumsticks:
1. In a small bowl, stir together: onion puree, 2 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 Tbsp salt and hot sauce if using.
2. Place chicken drumsticks into a large mixing bowl or soup pot then pour on the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 to 8 hours or (preferably) overnight.
3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and bake skin-side-up at 400˚F for 45 minutes then turn drumsticks over (skin-side-down) and bake another 15 minutes. For extra crispy skin, turn drumsticks again and broil 3 minutes or until skin is browned and crisp.
I garnished with chives for effect 🙂
Tips for Speed Marinating: We’ve tested marinating 4 hours and the meat wasn’t as tender and tasty as overnight marinating. However, if you have a foodsaver, you can marinate in an airtight bag and have it done in 2 to 4 hours. Did you know that a foodsaver can marinate foods faster? Removing the excess air forces the marinade into the meat. We’re absolutely in love with our foodsaver.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I was a little curious how this would taste after making the sauce. But!!!! It came our really Juicy and flavor was really good. Thanks natasha for sure great flavors.
Hi Marie! That’s wonderful. So glad to hear that.
Great recipe!!! Only got to marinate for 6 hours and was a little worried if they would be tender. They came out amazing and looked just like the picture… was going to send my picture when the family started eating them and saying how delicious!!
Natasha you are my go to on any new things I want to try… thank you !!
Will send picture next time a make them
Hi Nancy! I’m so glad they were a hit! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi! I don’t have mayo on hand. Is there anything I can substitute for that?
Thanks
Hi Marci, I always use mayo, but I think olive oil might work well instead.
So good! I have made this recipe so many times, always a hit
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Lei!
Can the recipe for baked chicken drumsticks be adapted for an air fryer?
Hi Sandra, I haven’t tried any other way to advise. I imagine it should work but I cannot advise on the timing. Please share with us how it goes if you experiment.
Hi Natasha. We will be having these for Saturday afternoon, if I marinate it Thursday evening it should be fine in fridge for 2 nights ?
Hi Alina. You can marinate these longer than overnight, that would be fine.
We’re trying this recipe for tonight’s dinner. If marinating in a foodsaver bag, is 4 hours the max time?
Hi Alice, you can marinate longer if need be. I hope you love this recipe!
Love this recipe will be making it often for my family. Have you ever used wings instead of legs
Hi Dianne, I imagine this may work with wings. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
I have made this recipe several times it is delicious every time we love it
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Dianne!
I made this and my husband and dad loved it. My Dad is 88 and he asked for the recipe so he could make it at home!
Looking forward to your cookbook one day!
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m happy you all enjoyed this recipe, Barb!
Sounds yummy. Can this be made with ckn breast? My husband and son do not like dark meat.
Hi Charlene! We always use it for dark meat bone-in chicken but one of my readers reported great results using it for chicken breasts that she grilled. I think the marinade would work but you would definitely have to alter the cooking time/method or the chicken breasts would be dry.
Can you use the Airfryer/Toaster Oven with your Mom’s Extra crispy chicken wings/legs?
Hi Beverly, I imagine it should work but I cannot advise on the timing. Please share with us how it goes if you experiment.
I made these drumsticks marinating overnight. Took out an hour before baking. Made them for a church dinner. I had to make 96. Easy and so very yummy. These will be on our menus again soon. Everyone loved them.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Linda! Wow, 96 is a lot! I’m so glad it all worked out!
Such an easy recipe and it delivers great flavor! Added 1Tbsp sriracha instead of hot sauce and otherwise followed the recipe exactly, marinading for 10 hours. Cooked perfectly on foil sprayed with cooking spray. The family loved it, and I will definitely make this again!
Siracha is a great substitute, thanks for sharing. I’m glad your family enjoyed this recipe!
Hi! Is it too spicy if you add hot sauce to it or it just blends in and you can’t really taste it. I have young kids who can’t take spice so just wanted to gauge it before adding it.
Also, can I use this recipe for boneless chicken thighs? Should I still marinate overnight? Thank you!
Hi Pokey, it blends in nicely, but if you’re worried you can try adding a bit less.
Is it possible to keep drumsticks in the marinade for two days?
Most recipes for marinating meat and poultry recommend six hours up to 24 hours.
Made tonight and everyone loved the flavor, need to ramp up the hot sauce … but was a lovely taste and new technique I never did before, so thank you and thank you Natasha’s Mom
You’re so welcome! I’m glad it was a huge hit!
I have made this a few times but had never marinated it for more than a couple of hours. Last time, I marinated it overnight, and added some sriracha sauce to the marinade. More than worth the extra marinating time! It is a wowser, and is now our favorite chicken recipe. Never any leftovers!
It really is the best! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
YES SIRACHA, just posted saying next time I am adding siracha so thank you Patricia for your post 🙂
This recipe was amazing thanks for sharing
Great to hear that you enjoyed it, Dianne! Thank you for your review.
Even though i dont cook much anymore i enjoy your videos. All look delicious!
Hello Gayle, good to know that you’re enjoying watching my videos. I hope you can go back to cooking again.
I have made this twice now with boneless skinless chicken thighs. Your Mom’s recipe is wonderful. Many years ago The Frugal Gourmet had a quick appetizer for impromptu guests which was Mayonaise & chopped onion spread on French bread! Great Marinade too! I’ve made many of your recipes Natasha and they are absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Do you take the excess of the marinade off the chicken or leave it on when u go to cook it?
It depends and both would work fine. I usually take it off if there’s too much marinade.
Sister!!! Your Mama is a genius! I haven’t tried it but I’m a BIG fan of baking almost every poultry/meat with onions – that flavor profile the onions add is fabulous and super flavorful. Can’t wait to try it puree’d! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, I’ve tried a few of your recipes and have nothing but love and gratitude for it. 🙂 Mahalo! BTW: Thank you for cracking me up, your lovable quirkiness is sooo refreshing, keep up the great work to you and your ohana! Blessings 🙂
Hello Tima, thank you for your kind words and good feedback. I hope you love this and every recipe that you will try!
Would this work with skinless drums or thighs?
Hi Wendy, I would still use the baking instructions for thighs that I shared in this post. Otherwise, it would turn out a little overcooked and dry.
This is my new favorite chicken recipe. It came put even more moist and flavorful than the rotisserie chicken that you buy from the store! Thank you so much Natasha!!!
You are very welcome. Glad you found your new go-to-recipe!
Can someone recommend Spots & Stripes? Cheers xox
Hi Natasha. Third time making this recipe using legs and thighs. Comes out perfect every time and so easy. Just want you to know that you’re my go to for all new recipes on google. Enjoy all your videos, so informative. Thanks 🧑🍳
Thank you so much for your good comments and feedback, Ev. We appreciate it so much!
Hi Tammy, this may work with quarters but they are much larger pieces of chicken and may take longer to bake.
I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe – delicious. Thank you
You are welcome, Maria. Glad you enjoyed it!
These were awesome. I used thighs and drumsticks and they both came out great. Crispy, juicy and so flavorful. I used parchment paper and they didnt stick at all. I justed added a 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder to marinade. Hubby commented three times during the meal that they were great.
Love it! Thank you so much, Judy for sharing your great feedback with us. We appreciate it!
Will the results be the same if an instant pot is used instead of the conventional oven.
Hello Funkie, I haven’t tried using an instant pot for this recipe yet. If you do an experiment, please let us know how it goes.
What about grilling? Ever tried it? If air fryer, temp and how long?
Hi Jennifer, I haven’t tried it any other way to advise. I imagine it should work but I cannot advise on the timing. Please share with us how it goes if you experiment.
Can you put a link to the baking sheet you use for this many chicken legs? Thank you
You can find our favorite kitchen tools including this baking sheet in our shop HERE.
This recipe is absolutely a keeper! It’s so easy to prepare, baked it in my handy air-fryer and it turned out real tender and flavorful. Will be making this regularly! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
That is so awesome! Thank you for your great feedback.
I always smile when recipe says to marinade overnight like we will cook it for breakfast. Just teasing but do sort of wonder if you could do overnight and then leave it all day too or just wait till morning and marinade all day and cook for dinner.
Hi Lyn. That should work too it will be juicy and full of flavor!
Hi,
This is one of my very favorite recipes, and I make these drumsticks the time. I prepare them the night before, then leave them in the refrigerator all day, stirring them around a few times. Then I leave them sit out to come to room temperature, and bake them in the evening. They always turn out great!
I’m so happy to hear that Tom! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Natasha, have you had any luck freezing cooked drumsticks and then reheating? Thank you.
Hi Alena, I haven’t tried to freeze these since they don’t last in our house but here is what one of our readers posted “make recipes, freeze portions, vacuum seal, return to freezer. .. 20 minutes in boiling water.. DONE.. LOVE IT !!” I hope that helps.
Has anyone tried doing these in the air fryer?
Hi Conni, I honestly don’t have any experience making this recipe in an air fryer so I’m not sure. Maybe someone else has tried in an air fryer? If so, please let us know and thanks in advance!
Made these today and they did not disappoint. So flavourful and tasty. My family loved them. I will definitely be making these often.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Roberta. Thank you for the wonderful review!
Hi Natasha, I had a question about the onion puree. I tried grating it to a paste like consistency but when I tasted it, it was really bitter. I thought something was wrong with the onion so I used a fresh one but that turned out bitter as well. How do I fix this? Thanks so much!
Hi Anya, did you use yellow onions?
Thanks for replying! Yes, I used yellow onions.
The recipe doesn’t specify a type of onion. Is there one that you prefer? 🙂
Hi Becky, I updated the recipe to specify. We usually use a yellow onion, but you can use what you have on hand.
Hi, how much do I change the recipe if I only want to make 3 lbs of chicken? Also can you use chicken thighs?
Hi DW, this recipe calls for 4.5- 5 lbs of meat which makes about 14 drum sticks. We have the recipe slider on the printable recipe towards the bottom of the post where you can adjust it to how many servings you would like. I hope that helps.
LOve your show and your recipes, hope you are putting out a cook book soon, copy off internet is not easy with all the advertisements getting in the way.
Hi Donna, if you scroll down to the bottom of the recipe post, there is a print-friendly (usually 1-page) concise recipe without any ads and just a single small photo. I hope that helps and thank you so much for the wonderful feedback.
I made these chicken legs last night and they were outstanding. What is simple and great recipe. The best thing about it is that a contains ingredients that almost every refrigerator and spice cabinet has on hand. Thank you Natasha love all your videos. You should have your own show on the Food Network.
#FoodnetworkNatashaneedsherownshow #100%
Thank you for sharing that with us and for that awesome compliment! We love how easy it is to make these!
I made this today and I let it marinade for a little more than 24 hours. It was DELICIOUS!
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Yes, they were tender, but lacking flavor and didnt get crispy. I cooked them longer than suggested and then put them under the broiler. Also, marinated for a day and a half. I usually like your recipes Natasha, next time!
Hi Carol, did you change anything about the recipe? Did you use a different amount (or different kind) of onion than called for? Did you grate the onion as stated in the recipe? Normally these are very flavorful. Also, it does help to keep them spaced out on a baking sheet to get them to crisp up rather than stay soft from surrounding steam.
Used Blue Jean Chef cooking time to air fry
Scrumptious. Will make again
That’s so great! I’m so glad you enjoyed that.
I used The Blue Jean Chefs time chart for air frying
It was so delicious. This is a great recipe
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Patti! I’m so happy you enjoyed that.
I’ve never make anything that called for pureed onion – that’s an interesting ingredient. I can’t wait to try these. Did I tell you how much I love your recipes? I do you know.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing that with us & I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying our recipes.
I am making tonight. Do you have any suggestions for air frying time? Can’t wait to try
Hi Patti, yes an air fryer would work but the timing will have to be adjusted for the air fryer and I haven’t tested that to advise. I hope you love the chicken drumsticks!
Delicious. Air fryed worker great
Air fryer works well
I have never been able to cook chicken so that the skin is crispy before. I was so excited when they came out of the oven looking just as good as in the picture. And they tasted really good too. And one of the easiest dinners ever! Thanks so much for another great recipe
I’m so happy to hear that, Jenny! Thank you for that awesome review!
Tasty and easy. Didn’t use hot sauce but I’d like to try adding some garlic powder or fresh garlic to the marinade. The only problem I encountered was when using foil. The chicken stuck to it and was hard to flip. Parchment worked much better.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Kendall!
use foil dull side up, to prevent sticking, and for good measure, spray it with Pam.
I read through your comments first but didn’t find an answer…do they reheat well…and what’s the best way
Hi Dianne, they do reheat pretty well and I recommend reheating foods the same way they were cooked and heating just until warmed through.
These are delicious! I’ve made them with legs & thighs and added some garlic powder to the mix. A family favourite for sure. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great feedback.
LOVE this recipe! My kids love these, it is always a hit with guests and so simple to make.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Vera!
HI, I’d like to ask if anyone has tried serving these cold? They sound great but I could be short of cooking time if they have to be eaten hot. They’d be part of an informal lunch buffet for a couple of friends.
Hi! I haven’t tested that cold but one of our readers wrote “I made these earlier tonight…yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! And I just discovered that they are also good eaten cold as a late night snack. Another great recipe, Natasha!” I hope that helps
What can I sub for the Jamaica me sweet hot and crazy sauce….
Any spicy sauce(liquid) or is it better powder.
Hi Karin, that is totally optional and we often make these drumsticks without the hot sauce. You can use any kind of your favorite hot sauce if you want to add a little spice and it will work
Sriracha~
after chicken marinates can you use an airfryer thank you
Hi Dorothy, yes an air fryer would work but the timing will have to be adjusted for the air fryer. I hope you love the chicken drumsticks!
This recipe sounds delicious and I’m always opened to trying new recipes. So I have like 2.66lbs of chicken drumsticks (8 in total), what would be the proportions for the ingredients listed?
Hi Bella! We have a serving slider at the top of the printable recipe. Where is says servings 14 (in red) drumsticks, click on the number and slide to adjust how many you need. I hope that helps.
I was honestly skeptical as the ingredient list is so simple but these were amazing!!! Big hit at family gathering.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite Melissa!
Do you think I can BBQ them as opposed to bake? This time of year that is our favorite method of cooking. Thank you!
Hi, I have had a few readers report great results grilling this and I don’t see why not! I hope you love theme as grilled chicken drumsticks!
Tried it today – super good! I made it with thighs though. The whole bunch was gone in about 10 minutes! Honestly, haven’t tried any of your recipes that my family or myself didn’t like. Your website is my endless source of ideas, whenever I have no clue what to cook or/and am tired of all my most cliche meals. Thank you for your moderately simple, yet very delicious recipes!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Kateryna! I’m so happy you discovered our blog and are enjoying our recipes! Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review with me!
How long did u cook the thighs??? Same time as in drumstiks??
Delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Donna!
I made these mostly out of curiosity, because of the simple ingredients, and was blown away! Delicious; will make them regularly. Who knew what an onion and 2 tablespoons could do?
who knew what 2 tablespoons of mayo could do? Kudos to your Mom
Thank you Patricia!
Sounds like you found a new favorite, Patricia! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
Hi! Just wanted to say that you are awesome! I happened by your site about 2 months ago and made the chicken fettuccine alfredo. It was seriously the best I have ever had (much less made)! Then I tried your creamy chicken noodle soup (again it is the best chicken noodle soup I have ever had). We were going to have a bunch of family over tonight so I made this recipe (1st time). Everyone loved it and it was enough to feed 10 people. You are a life saver! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me Jenn! That means a lot! I’m all smiles!
Hi Natasha, quick question, should I let my marinated drumsticks sit on the counter for a bit before I pop in the oven? They are marinating in the fridge of course 🙂
Hi Lauren, you are welcome to if you’d like but we just pop them right into the oven and they’re perfect!
Hi Lauren, it isn’t necessary to bring them to room temperature first. We just arrange them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven right out of the fridge.
Awesome, followed recipe (and straight to oven from fridge) and it turned out great. My one and three year olds loved it (I cut/shredded some of the drumstick meat for them).
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me :). I’m all smiles!
have you ever tried sour cream instead of the mayo
Hi Pat! We have only tried it with mayo. I haven’t tried that with sour cream or greek yogurt either so I’m not sure I can speak to that substitution. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
I would not suggest it…mayo is why they brown beautifully, as they do when you use mayo on the bread for a grilled cheese sandwich!
Hi!
I will try it today 🙂 Can you freeze some of them? If yes, which stage?
Thx!
I haven’t tried to freeze these since they don’t last in our house but here is what one of our readers posted “makee recipes, freeze portions, vacuum seal, return to freezer. .. 20 minutes in boiling water.. DONE.. LOVE IT !!”
Thanks, I guess it’s the best if I freeze it after coating the drumsticks with the onion-mayo, but before cooking them. Am I right?
I think that would be best!
But don’t do the ‘boil for 20 minutes’
thing, if you haven’t baked before freezing…He meant baked, freeze; then thawed in the package in boiling water.
Thank you for such a yummy, versatile recipe. Because of time constraints and being away from home, I wasn’t able to cook them in the oven. So I threw them in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. When I got home, I put them on the grill for a few minutes so the skins could crisp up. They turned out amazing! Thanks again!
You’re so welcome, Natalie!
Do you see a problem marinating a couple days? What about subbing Greek yogurt for mayo? Thank you!
Hi Steve, I have marinated up to 24 hours but I think it should work to marinate for a couple of days. I haven’t tried with Greek yogurt so I’m not sure I can’t speak to that substitution.
I wanted to let you know that I ended up making them for lunch, so they marinated a day and a half with no problem. I also used Greek yogurt instead of Mayo and it worked great. Moist, flavorful and falling off the bone. This is a great recipe. Thank you!
That sounds healthier and amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us, Steve!
Hi Natasha! Thank you so much for such an easy and delicious recipe! I’ve made it the other day and my picky 4yr old loved it! so this definitely goes on our favorites list and will be made pretty often:-) thanks again!!!
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. Thanks for sharing that with us, Luda! & thank you for the wonderful review!
Hi, love the recipe – can I make this with chicken breast?
Hi Irene, We always use it for dark meat bone-in chicken but one of my readers reported great results using it for chicken breasts which she grilled. I think the marinade would work but you would definitely have to alter the cooking time/method or the chicken breasts would be dry.”
Hi Natasha, I made these and they were gone instantly, so good!!! Thank you for all your amazing recipes. Can this marinade be used on chicken breasts? If yes, would it be a similar cooking method?
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your great review with us, Galina! We always use it for dark meat bone-in chicken but one of my readers reported great results using it for chicken breasts which she grilled. I think the marinade would work but you would definitely have to alter the cooking time/method or the chicken breasts would be dry.
This looks great and I can’t wait to try this next week! Would I be able to use light mayo instead of regular mayo?
Thanks!
Hi Taemee, light mayo should work as well 😀
I just made this for dinner with my parents and served it with grilled vegetables and rice pilaf. It was wonderful! The only thing I did differently was purée 2 jalapeños with the onions before adding in the mayo, salt, and pepper. I did end up using regular mayo because it was on sale. Delicious, simple recipe perfect for summer! I will be making again. Thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear the recipe was a great success. Thanks for sharing your excellent review with other readers!
Natasha, this recipe looks amazing. I was wondering if it would do well in an air fryer? If so, any suggestions for air fryer use with this recipe?
Thank you!
Olivia
Hi Olivia, I honestly don’t have any experience in an air fryer so I’m not sure. Do you love your air fryer and what brand do you have?
Maybe someone else has tried in an air fryer? If so, please let us know and thanks in advance! 🙂
Just wanted to say that I LOVE this recipie. It’s part of my regular rotation. My husband asks for it all the time. Thank you!
You’re welcome Melissa! I’m glad to hear the recipe is loved enough to be put in the rotation. Thanks for sharing your great review!
I’ve marinated them for about 24 hours (due to working schedule) but let me tell you, drumsticks came out so flavorful, moist and tender, defiantly will be making them again, probably very soon! I’ll be serving them with some roasted garlic Parmesan asparagus! Thank you for this recipe
My pleasure Yana! I’m glad you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Making these tonight!! Hoping they turn out yummy they sure do smell gold cooking.
I hope you love it, please let me know what you think Stacey!
This is my go-to recipe for drumsticks! I always marinate overnight. So delicious and perfect for making large batches to meal prep. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome Kasia! I’m happy to hear how much you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your wonderful review!
i’m making these Today.. Bought
a 5lb package of Drumsticks.. YES.. The Foodsaver is the best invention EVER !!.. I have the Quick Marinating Dish.. Overnight marinating done in 12 minutes !! I have their containers, and Tons of Canning Jars.. I vacuum seal everything I can !! Great for Salad veggies… they last 2weeks +
I make recipes, freeze portions, vacuum seal, return to freezer. .. 20 minutes in boiling water.. DONE.. LOVE IT !!
Nice, I need me one of those! Please let me know what you think about the recipe!
Super easy & super yummy! I did marinade them over night. Looking forward to making these little babies again. THANKS!
You’re welcome Pam! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
Adoro coxas de frango ! Parece ótimo !
I hope you love the recipe! 🙂
Hi! This looks absolutely wonderful; however, my stomach no longer allows me to have anything with onion, so is there a way to make this so that it is still wonderful but without onion? Thanks so much!!
Hi Robin, with this recipe, since onion makes up the bulk of the marinade, it would be difficult to swap it for something comparable. You might consider this chicken drumsticks recipe – also very good! 🙂
I’ll bet if she sliced and soaked the onion in water for an hour before gratin, it would make them more mild. Can’t imagine a sub for onion.
Hi Natasha! I love this recipe! Would it work to make this without the mayo for lactose-intolerant guests?
Hi Monica, most real mayo’s are dairy free so they should not bother anyone who is lactose intolerant. Double check the label before buying it since there are some “light” mayo varieties that might add it for flavor but most mayonnaise is dairy and lactose free.
Made these tonight for dinner. Absolutely delicious! Easy to make because of excllent directions. Followed them exactly. My husband loved them. Will make again and again.
I’m glad to hear you both enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review Janet!
Natasha, do you think it will be chicken will be ok if I marinate it and put it in GE freezer? Then, just thawed it out and grill it. Have you tried anything like that before? Thank you for a great post!!!
Hi Mila, I do think that would work great. The chicken would marinate while it is defrosting. I would thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results (no speed thawing) since you want the chicken to have ample time to marinate.
Hi Natasha, can I make with chicken thighs, really wants this recipe, not the one u recommend in your comments with BBQ, help me please, if it’s going to be something different, thank u so much
Hi Tanya, you can use chicken thighs for this and if they are bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can use the same instructions and baking times.
What about boneless and skinless??? Thanks a lot, so sorry for bothering
Hi Tanya, no worries! I would still use the baking instructions for thighs that I shared in this post. Otherwise, it would turn out a little overcooked and dry.
Delicious, I was somewhat skeptical given the simple ingredients but tried it out due to the fantastic comments.
Only managed to marinate for 4 hours but everyone loved it. A winner as a midweek dinner in our house, I think I’ll try it on a full roast chicken next!
Awesome, I’m glad to hear that Stephanie! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
I was researching how long to bake drumsticks when I came across your recipe. Definitely putting these on the grocery list for next week. Thanks!
You’re welcome Alina! Please let me know what you think of the recipe!
