Dust the chicken with flour. Lightly coat the chicken with cooking spray, then cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear.

Pro Tip
If you prefer to serve the chicken without barbecue sauce, cook the drumsticks until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, which should take about 2 1/2 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) near the bone.
