1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Mix the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag.
3

Toss the drumsticks in the seasoned oil to coat well.
4

Bake the drumsticks on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet (so air circulates around chicken) until very tender and the skin is crisp, 50 minutes.
5

For the spicy sauce: Mix together the butter, hot sauce and BBQ sauce in a large bowl.
6

Toss the drumsticks in the spicy sauce until well coated.
