Makes 3-4 servings.

Ingredients:

For the Whole 30 Buffalo Drumsticks:

• 8 drumsticks

• 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce (or similar compliant buffalo sauce)

• ½ cup ghee

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• 2 tbsps avocado oil

• Salt and pepper

For the Whole 30 Ranch:

• 1 cup homemade mayo or whole 30 approved mayo

• ¼-½ cup almond or coconut milk (depending on how thick you like your ranch)

• ½ tsp dried parsley

• ½ tsp dried dill

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Directions:

For the Whole 30 Buffalo Drumsticks:

• Salt chicken on a wire rack and stick in the fridge uncovered for 1-3 hours ideally. The salt will dry out the skin a bit which makes it crispy without the use of flour!

• Remove from fridge and pat dry, allowing to come to room temperature while your oven preheats to 425 degrees.

• Mix drumsticks with avocado oil, salt and pepper, and add to a wire rack lined baking sheet, ensuring to not crowd the pan.

• Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then flip and cook for 20-25 minutes more until browned on the outside and fully cooked through.

• In a small saucepan, add the buffalo sauce, ghee, and garlic powder until melted.

• Toss the chicken with the buffalo sauce in a large bowl, then add back to the wire rack and broil for 5-7 minutes.

• Reserve the sauce and toss once more before serving.

For the Whole 30 Ranch:

• Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until using.
