This easy main course is perfect when you're looking for a dinner that also makes a great lunch the next day--just scale up the recipe to suit your needs for leftovers. The drumsticks are deliciously fiery when you use the full ½ teaspoon of cayenne. Feel free to use a smaller amount if you prefer milder chicken. Serve the dish with a cooling side like raita or chopped pineapple for a delicious complement no matter how spicy your chicken is. Ready in just 40 minutes, these crispy drumsticks rival the fried version. Take along hot or cold for a great picnic dish. Make a milder batch for kids or sensitive eaters.
