Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 4 –Pour the mixture over the drumsticks, and cover the dish with foil.
