Skillet BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Yellow Potatoes

This is the easiest way to prepare BBQ drumsticks I have tried to date.  I used a Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce to save time, but you can make your own sauce.  I paired the BBQ chicken with roasted garlic parmesan yellow potatoes and a mixture of peas and corn.

Ingredients:

Chicken-

8 chicken drumsticks

1-2 cups BBQ sauce

Nonstick spray

Potatoes-

5-6 medium yellow potatoes

1-2 tablespoons olive oil (I used an olive oil infused with garlic)

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons grated parmesan

Directions:

Chicken

1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with a lid or a Dutch oven with nonstick spray.
2. Pour a layer of BBQ sauce about ½ inch deep to coat the pan.
3. Arrange chicken drumsticks in the sauce and turn over a few times to coat in the sauce.
4. Heat to medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble.  Then reduce heat to medium low.
5. Flip the chicken drumsticks every 10 minutes or so.
6. Cook on medium low heat for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.  Use a thermometer to check to ensure the chicken has reached 165 degrees.
7. Remove from heat and allow the chicken to cool and rest in the sauce for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Thoroughly coat the chicken in the sauce and transfer to plates to serve.

Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Slice the potatoes without going all the way through with approximately ¼ inch between each slice.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and rub in the oil with a brush or your hands.
4. Sprinkle garlic powder and parmesan over the potatoes.
5. Roast for 40-45 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
6. Enjoy!
