For enhanced flavor, consider adding aromatics such as garlic cloves, fresh thyme sprigs, or rosemary to the roasting pan along with the chicken broth. If you prefer a crisper skin, remove the lid or foil during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking to allow the drumsticks to brown. Pan drippings can be used to create a delicious gravy. Simmer the drippings in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking in a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
