how long do you bake drumettes at 400

The baking time for drumettes (chicken drumsticks) at 400°F (200°C) can vary depending on their size, whether they are bone-in or boneless, and the level of doneness desired. Here are some general guidelines:

– Bone-in drumettes:
– Small to medium: 20-25 minutes
– Medium to large: 25-30 minutes
– Large: 30-35 minutes

– Boneless drumettes:
– Small to medium: 15-20 minutes
– Medium to large: 20-25 minutes
– Large: 25-30 minutes

It’s essential to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Additionally, you can also check for doneness by looking for the following signs:

– The chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
– The skin is crispy and golden brown.
– The meat is tender and falls off the bone easily.

Remember to always let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
