BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Mashed Potatoes

BBQ chicken drumsticks with mashed potatoes is a classic dish that's always a hit at family dinners. The perfectly crispy chicken drumsticks and rich, smoky BBQ sauce harmonize beautifully with the creamy, smooth mashed potatoes. As the chicken drumsticks bake in the oven, the BBQ sauce caramelizes, forming a sticky, flavorful layer on top of the meat. The mashed potatoes, enriched with butter and milk, offer a light, soft texture that balances the crispy skin of the chicken. The secret to perfect BBQ chicken drumsticks is proper seasoning and precise baking time, ensuring the meat is juicy and flavorful. This dish is ideal for weekday dinners, family gatherings, or even weekend grill parties.

    While the chicken is baking, peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and boil in salted water until tender.

    Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Add the butter and warm milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
