How to Make Pink Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Italian dressing and 1/4 cup Catalina dressing.
  3. Place 2 lbs chicken drumsticks in a shallow baking dish.
  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use tongs to turn and coat thoroughly.
  5. If using drumsticks with skin, arrange them skin-side up in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the dressing for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) before baking.
