Bacon Wrapped Drumsticks | Recipeish | Gustus Vitae
Some things only seem obvious after the fact, as these crispy, crunchy, juicy drumsticks make deliciously clear. Remove the skin before wrapping the drumsticks in two strips of bacon and dredging in seasoning: you'll get a blisteringly crusty outside with perfectly cooked succulent chicken on the inside. Easy to make and gone in seconds, these are one of our favorite finger foods.
