How to Microwave Chicken Drumsticks

Cooking chicken drumsticks in the microwave isn’t just fast; it’s a way to keep the meat tender and juicy. Forget the dry, tough chicken of the past; this is about moist, fall-off-the-bone goodness that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about microwave cooking.

Missing that crispy skin? Fry up the cooked drumsticks in a hot pan, or finish under the broiler for added texture. You can also try finishing drumsticks over a hot grill for 1-2 minutes per side.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
