Drumsticks

 Certainly! Here's a simple and delicious recipe for drumsticks, which are typically chicken drumsticks. You can use this recipe as a guide and adjust the seasonings to your taste:

Ingredients:

  1. 10 chicken drumsticks
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 teaspoon paprika
  5. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  6. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
  7. Salt and pepper to taste
  8. 2 tablespoons honey (for a sweet glaze, optional)
  9. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. You can adjust the seasonings to your preference.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, and toss them to coat evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
  • Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.
  • Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a crispy, golden-brown skin. You can turn them over halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • If you want to add a sweet glaze, brush the drumsticks with honey during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. This will give them a nice, sticky finish. Be careful not to let the honey burn.
  • Once the drumsticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness (optional).
  • Serve your delicious drumsticks with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a simple green salad. Enjoy your meal!
