Use a kitchen knife or scissor to cut the skin and tendons around the base of each drumette.

Peel, scrape and push the meat down to the thick end, from top to bottom. It made the drumette looks just like a lollipop.

Repeat with remaining chicken drumsticks.

Squeeze the juice for ½ a fresh orange on the drumsticks

You can also season with ranch dressing powder for a different kind of flavor.
