Preheat oven to 425.

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the fresh rosemary, garlic, carrots and oregano.
Simmer the butter mixture for about 2 minutes and then add the cider.
Bring the cider to a boil and add the drumsticks back in to the pan.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
