The secret to great tasting baked chicken drumsticks The secret to making these drumsticks is the sweet and savory marinade that is so tasty that you can just drink it on its own. If you want your chicken legs or drumsticks to be flavorful and juicy inside, you have to marinate them. This is what separates a great chicken drumstick from an OK one.
