Instructions
Simple Roasted Drumsticks
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Remove the skin from the drumsticks.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste. About 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. per drumstick will be sufficient for most people.
4. Add sage and garlic powder or other herbs and spices, as desired.
5. Spray the roasting rack and pan with cooking spray. Place the rack in the pan.
6. Add the drumsticks to the rack. You can also add vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery or onions, if desired. If you add the vegetables, pour about 1/2 cup of water or broth in the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.
7. Cover the pan and place it in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and return the pan to the oven for 10 minutes or until the drumsticks are golden brown.

12. Mix the cranberry sauce with orange juice to bring it to the consistency of heavy cream.
