Roasted Chicken Drumettes—oven-baked with a lemon-mustard glaze—are finger-licking crowd-pleasers.

Make your house bowl-game-day headquarters. Treat guests to three new appetizers to perk up the usual spread of chips and dips. You can assemble the Louisiana Poppers and Bacon-Wrapped Almond-Stuffed Apricots up to a day ahead; then bake when ready to serve. The party will be a big win, no matter the final score.
