Followed the recipe exactly except we basted the turkey drumsticks every few minutes during the last 30 minutes. The drumsticks came out very dry and tough. The sauce was not extraordinary. If I try this again it will be with different sauce and possibly I will boil the legs to tenderize them before putting them in the oven with the sauce.
