  1. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
  2. Slightly trim the base of the drumsticks so that they stand upright.
  3. Using a knife, make an incision around the drumstick bone, about halfway down. Remove the skin and flesh above the incision to expose the bone. Push the remaining skin and flesh towards the fleshy part.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the spice mix. Sprinkle the drumsticks with the spice mix.
  5. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the chicken drumsticks vertically, bones side up.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush with Buffalo sauce.
  7. Continue cooking in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the meat easily detaches from the bone.
  8. Meanwhile, combine the ranch dressing ingredients in a bowl.
  9. Serve the lollipops with the ranch dressing.

BBQ version

Preheat the barbecue to medium-high (about 425 °F- 220 °C). Follow steps 2 to 4. On a hot, oiled barbecue grill, grill the chicken drumsticks for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the drumsticks from the barbecue and brush with Buffalo sauce. Turn off the burners on one side of the barbecue. Place the drumsticks vertically, bone up, on the grill on the side with the burners off for indirect cooking. Close the barbecue grill lid and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the meat easily detaches from the bone.
