By Linda Larsen, About.com Guide

Kids will love this super simple recipe. If they don't like barbecue sauce, substitute ketchup or tomato sauce.

Prep Time: 0 hour, 5 minutes

Cook Time: 0 hour, 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
  • 1 cup gemelli or farfalle pasta
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 package onion soup mix
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Preparation:

In 10 inch skillet melt butter with olive oil and cook drumsticks, turning frequently, until golden brown and almost cooked, 15-20 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet; add pasta, water, onion soup mix, and half of the barbecue sauce to the skillet, making sure that liquid covers all of the pasta.

Return chicken to the skillet and spoon remaining barbecue sauce directly onto the chicken. Cover skillet and simmer until pasta is tender and chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 12-15 minutes. 4 servings
