Gather the ingredients.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a jelly roll pan well.
Combine ground meat, egg, milk, ½ cup cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, and sage in a large bowl; gently mix until well blended.
Divide meat mixture into 16 portions. Form each portion into a drumstick shape around a skewer.
Place melted butter in a bowl wide enough to fit drumstick; put remaining 1 cup cracker crumbs in a pie plate.
Dip each drumstick into melted butter then roll in cracker meal.
Place drumsticks in a single layer in greased jelly roll pan and drizzle remaining melted butter over tops of drumsticks.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown.
