Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time.
While the drumsticks are baking, mix the dairy-free BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
After 30 minutes, remove the drumsticks from the oven and brush them generously with the BBQ sauce mixture on all sides.
Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the sauce is caramelized.
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free BBQ drumsticks with your favorite sides!
