Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Juicy, tender, and full of flavour—our oven baked chicken drumsticks are the perfect go-to for quick family meals or easy prep evenings. Packed with savoury spices and crisped up in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken Drumsticks
- 100 g Yoghurt
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Green Chilli Paste
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1/4 tsp Red Food Colour
- 1 tbsp Tandoori Masala
- 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the listed ingredients and mix thoroughly until the chicken drumsticks are fully coated in the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure the marinade is evenly distributed over each piece.
- Cover the bowl and set it aside to marinate for at least 1 hour. For best results, refrigerate during this time to allow the flavours to fully absorb into the chicken.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, carefully flip each drumstick to the other side. Change the oven setting to broil or grill mode and broil the chicken for an additional 10 minutes to get a slightly charred and crispy finish. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
