Ingredients
6 chicken drumsticks
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp red chili powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
Salt, to taste
Fresh coriander, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry, then make 2–3 shallow cuts in each piece. This helps the marinade soak in and gives the chicken more flavor. - Make the marinade
In a bowl, combine the oil, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, black pepper, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix until well combined. - Marinate
Add the chicken drumsticks and coat them thoroughly with the marinade, making sure it gets into the cuts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. - Roast
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the drumsticks on a baking tray in a single layer. - Bake
Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through cooking for even browning. The chicken should be golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). - Serve
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot. 🍗🌿
