Toss raw chicken drumsticks in the glass casserole dish and 3 other ingredients
Use chicken thighs: If drumsticks are not what you have on hand, bone-in chicken thighs work very well here too. Just keep an eye on the cooking time, since larger pieces may need a few extra minutes.
Make it less sweet: If you prefer a more savory sauce, reduce the apricot preserves slightly and use a smokier barbecue sauce. That keeps the glaze balanced without losing the easy 4-ingredient appeal.
Add a little heat: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a small spoonful of hot sauce mixed into the glaze gives the chicken a subtle kick. This is a great way to make the same recipe feel a little different for adults.
Prep ahead: You can mix the sauce earlier in the day and keep it covered in the refrigerator. When dinner rolls around, all you have to do is arrange the chicken, pour on the sauce, and bake.
Best baking tip: Make sure the drumsticks are in a single layer so they roast evenly instead of steaming. If you want stickier, more caramelized skin, spoon the pan sauce over the chicken during baking and let it cook uncovered the whole time.
