I did 6 drumsticks though made as per recipe and baked at 175C fan forced for 45 minutes for moist and oh so tasty drumsticks. Thank you TeresaS for a great dinner, made for Food Fun and Friends Forum and For Your Consideration tag game.

Great low cal chicken legs!!! I made 1/2 of the recipe, subbing wings for the legs and grilling them instead of heating up the oven, still in the 80's here in FL. I marinated the wings for about 4 hours and they were flavorful with basting the wings in the sauce while grilling, but think next time I would marinated them for 24 hours. Loved that these were so low calorie without the sugar or oil, but still tasted like a nice tangy BBQ chicken!!!
