  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 45 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 2 cups ketchup
    • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 6 pounds chicken drumettes, patted dry

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1 cup sauce for tossing raw chicken; use rest for baked chicken.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds; line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil.
  3. Divide drumettes between baking sheets, and toss with reserved 1 cup sauce.
  4. Bake chicken until opaque throughout, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheets and tossing chicken halfway through. Toss baked drumettes with 1/2 cup sauce, and serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Cook's Note

Chicken drumettes are actually part of the chicken wing -- just the right size for kids to nibble on. To store, refrigerate, up to 2 weeks.
