Oven Baked Jambalaya

Chicken Jambalaya Baked With Drumsticks

Oven Baked Jambalaya is a delicious way to bake chicken especially if you like drumsticks with a spicy kick to them. You could also make this recipe with chicken thighs if you prefer.

This recipe can be as spicy as you want since you can control the amount of heat by adding more or less Cayenne pepper and hot sauce.

Our kids don't like too much spice so I make this recipe as it's listed here, then my husband can add as much hot sauce as he wants to his individual plate. He adds so much of it I think he's going to catch fire one day.
