Frequently Asked Questions:
Roasted Drumsticks and Potatoes
Why bother adding water from the side?
When we say “add water from the side,” we mean pouring it near the edge of the baking pan. This way, you won’t wash the marinade away from the chicken or the potatoes.
How do I “baste” the chicken?
Grab a spoon, scoop some of the sauce from the bottom of the pan, and pour it over the drumsticks. Don’t forget to pour some on the potatoes as well!
Do I need to cover the chicken with aluminum foil?
No, just flip the pieces, baste every once in a while, and you’ll be all set.
