Oven Fried Drumsticks

So I stole the main recipe from here.  But I changed a few things, mainly because I didn't have some of those spices.  I've never in my life cooked chicken drumsticks, I'm not even fond of dark meat chicken.  BUT, man-oh-man, were these puppies good!  So it's simple and barely a recipe but it was delicious!

Ingredients

• 12-24 drumsticks
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 3 tsp paprika
• 2 tbs Memphis Style Chicken & Rib Rub  (Just because I had some and it sounded/smelled good!  Any spice would work!)
• 2 tbs onion powder
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In bag or large plastic container combine spices and flour.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of butter on cookie sheet. (All my drumsticks fit on one pan so I only used 1/4 cup of butter, if you need two pans use the other 1/4 cup on extra pan).
4. Shake drumsticks 3-4 at a time in flour mixture then place on buttered cookie sheet.
5. Cook for 30 minutes.
6. Flip drumsticks and cook 15-20 more minutes.  (Since I only cooked 12 I only cooked for 10 more minutes and they were perfect!)
