Baked chicken drumsticks are usually considered a finger food that is best when it's served as an appetizer or snack. But they also make a great meal all by themselves served with fresh fruit or veggies. Although chicken drumsticks can be made in the crockpot or on the stove, baking them generally reduces the amount of fat and calories in them.
