You can also serve the chicken drumsticks with light ranch dressing. Here's a quick tip for skinning drumsticks: Loosen the skin around the meaty part of the drumstick. Grab loosened skin with a paper towel, and pull toward the bone end.

Really good and the whole family loved it. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs because the drumsticks sounded too messy. I also used low fat buttermilk. I minced the garlic and onion vs. grating.

The sauce was tasty though I had quite a time trying to find mayo without soy in it. I had no idea how hard that would be. Guess there was a reason I hadn't eaten mayo in years. I think I'll try this with chicken tenders next time. It was a little messy to eat the drumsticks and I ended up with more crust on me than in me. I also had to cook the chicken a bit longer to get it cooked through.

We thought this recipe was great! Our chicken needed a little more time to make sure it was done through. The honey mustard sauce was AWESOME!! (I didn't grate the onion and garlic, just minced very small.) We will definitely make it again.
