How to Make Deviled Drumsticks

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp mustard powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp curry powder, and 1 tbsp French mustard until a paste forms.
  2. Add 2 tbsp softened butter to the spice paste and mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Preheat your broiler.
  4. Make 4 slits lengthwise into each chicken drumstick and spread a generous amount of the devilish paste into each slit.
  5. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika.
  6. Dredge each chicken drumstick in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  7. Melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter in a broiler-safe pan.
  8. Place the coated drumsticks in the pan and brush them with the melted butter.
  9. Broil the drumsticks for 6 minutes, then turn and broil for another 6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, basting with pan juices halfway through.
  10. Serve immediately on strips of hot buttered toast.
