Want a fast, easy, family dinner that takes almost no time at all to prepare? I keep frozen chicken drumsticks on hand for nights when I don’t really feel like cooking. I season these in a gallon size Ziplock bag and then just empty the bag into a foil lined casserole dish or large cake pan. You can marinate these if you like, but it’s not necessary. To marinate, just put the Ziplock bag in the fridge. You can let it marinate for 10 minutes or even leave it all day while you’re at work. The best thing about chicken drumsticks is you can bake them frozen, so it’s no problem if you’ve forgotten to take them out for supper. Just season and cook.

What should you serve with them? Baked potatoes take about an hour to cook, so you could put them in the oven at the same time, or if you really want an easy supper serve the drumsticks with a bagged salad or sliced cucumbers and baby carrots.
