Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F, pat drumsticks completely dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add drumsticks without crowding, and sear 3-4 minutes per side until skin is golden brown.
  3. 3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast 18-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches about 162°F, then remove and transfer chicken to a plate.
  4. 4. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat, add onion and sauté 2-3 minutes until softened, then add wine and scrape up browned bits; bring to a boil.
  5. 5. Add chicken broth and reduce the liquid by half until thickened, stir in lemon juice and fresh herbs, then remove from heat and whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons cold butter until melted; season to taste.
  6. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  7. 6. Serve drumsticks drizzled with the pan sauce.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
