These zesty baked chicken drumsticks are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, perfect for any occasion.
Combine all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl to form a paste.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined for an even flavor.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a food storage bag and add the marinade. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and massage to coat the chicken evenly.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Serve the baked drumsticks hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
