    Baking Instructions:

    Step three: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pour chicken into a dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until fully cooked.

    Time will vary deepening on the size of your chicken. Check on smaller chicken drumsticks around 20 minutes.

    Pro Tip: Pour leftover sauce from the dish into a pot with ½-1 teaspoon cornstarch. Allow cooking on low while whisking until thickened. Pour sauce over rice and chicken.
