Carefully open the foil packets (be mindful of the steam!), garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (if using), and serve immediately. (2 minutes)
For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken drumsticks in barbeque sauce for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before assembling the foil packets.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the foil packets, such as diced onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.
If you prefer a crispier chicken skin, open the foil packets during the last 10 minutes of baking.
To make ahead, assemble the foil packets and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold.
