How to bake Buffalo style Chicken:
  • In a mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag, add oil, vinegar, brown mustard, paprika (for color), cayenne pepper (for heat), black pepper, garlic and herb seasoning and salt. Mix all the ingredients well. I used chicken drumsticks with skin, discard the skin for lesser calories. Coat the chicken drumsticks in this marinade well. Let the chicken marinate for 4 - 5 hours or overnight. Get creative and feel free to add your favorite seasonings as well.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F. Use a baking tray with a mesh. Mix the chicken drumsticks again and place them on the mesh. Bake them uncovered for 30 - 40 minutes till chicken skin turns crisp.  
  • Buffalo Sauce: Microwave butter in a microwave safe bowl for about a minute. Add orange zest (grated orange peel) and Buffalo sauce to the melted butter. Mix well and coat the baked drumsticks well. Add more buffalo sauce and/or orange zest if you like.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks at 375 degrees F for another 10 minutes. Enjoy hot spicy Chicken Drumsticks with lemon.
