Ingredients

2/3 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
5 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, optional
6 turkey drumsticks (1 pound each)

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients; set aside 1/4 cup for basting. Draw remaining marinade into a flavor injector. In several areas of each drumstick, inject a total of 2 tablespoons (or 1 oz.) of marinade into the meat while slowly pulling out the needle., Place drumsticks on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until a thermometer reads 180°, 45-55 minutes longer, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
