Hoisin Chicken Drumsticks

Sometimes drumsticks are on sale at Kroger so I get them, and this was a crazy easy and delicious way to eat them. Obviously you could do this with just BBQ sauce or teriyaki sauce or any number of other flavors, but I wanted to be sure to remember this option. I might double the sauce and save half of it to pour on top of the chicken after it comes out so that there's more flavor while you're eating it.
