Easy Baked Cajun Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Transfer drumsticks to the prepared baking sheet, discarding the plastic bag.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
