How long does it take to cook chicken drumsticks in the oven?
Chicken drumsticks take around 40 minutes to cook in the oven. To do this, simply pre-heat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C fan assisted), add your seasoned drumsticks, and remember to turn halfway for even cooking. The best way to know whether your meat is thoroughly cooked and ready to serve is by using an internal meat thermometer.

Can you air fry chicken drumsticks?
Yes, chicken drumsticks are perfectly safe to cook in an air fryer. This method of cooking is great for crisping off the skin whilst keeping the meat inside juicy and tender. To do this, cook for around 20 minutes at 190°C, remembering to adjust the time/temperature depending on the size of the drumstick and your specific air fryer model.
Can you freeze chicken drumsticks?
Yes, you can freeze chicken drumsticks. No matter whether they’re cooked or raw, freezing is a great way to cut down on food waste and prolong the shelf life of your chicken. Ensure they are properly wrapped in a freezer bag or air-tight container to prevent freezer burn and cross-contamination.
