Easy Broiled Drumsticks

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"These simple drumsticks are scrumptious alone but go well with dips like ranch. To make and easy ranch dip, just combine a 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing with 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons cold water. Like a little spice? Add hot sauce to taste."
