You’ll need just a few ingredients in addition to the drumsticks. You probably already have everything you need at home to make this chicken recipe.<\/p>\n

Chicken drumsticks:<\/strong> Keep the skin on, as it gives the meat its much-loved crispiness and keeps it juicy and tender. I used 8 drumsticks for this recipe, but you can easily make more. Just adjust the marinade ingredients accordingly.<\/p>\n

Olive oil:<\/strong> Adds more flavor to the marinade and meat than sunflower oil. Use what you like and what you have on hand. The drumsticks will still be delicious.<\/p>\n

I add a little sesame oil sparingly, as its taste is quite strong. It enhances the flavors of the other ingredients and adds a subtle Asian touch. You can skip it if you prefer. It has a slightly roasted hazelnut flavor.<\/p>\n

Spices and herbs:<\/strong> Garlic, parsley, Proven\u00e7al dried herbs (like Ducroc), paprika, pepper, turmeric, ginger, and mustard. <\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/p>\n

Preparation Steps:<\/h2>\n

NB: For full details of ingredients, see the recipe card-below, which you can also print out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wash and Marinate the Chicken Drumsticks<\/h3>\n

Rinse the drumsticks thoroughly in plenty of water with a teaspoon of salt and the juice of half a lemon or a tablespoon of vinegar. Drain them in a colander. If you\u2019re short on time, you can simply rinse them under running water and pat them dry.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If you bought ready-to-cook chicken, do not wash them.<\/p>\n

In a dish or airtight container, mix all the spices, olive oil, parsley, garlic, mustard, and a little water to slightly loosen the marinade.<\/p>\n

Add the drumsticks to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Use your hands to rub the marinade all over each piece.<\/p>\n

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours. You can also prepare them the day before to let the flavors fully soak into the meat.<\/p>\n

Cooking chicken drumsticks<\/h3>\n

Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0C (390\u00b0F).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Grease a baking dish or Pyrex with a little oil and place the chicken drumsticks inside. You can cover the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.<\/p>\n

Bake for about 45 minutes, turning the drumsticks twice during cooking, until they are golden and fully cooked. Add a little water if there isn\u2019t enough juice in the dish.<\/p>\n

If the marinade starts to burn, cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue cooking. Remove the foil towards the end to allow the drumsticks to develop a beautiful golden color. <\/p>\n

\"juicy,<\/p>\n

To check if the chicken drumsticks are cooked, pierce the meat with the tip of a knife. It should go in easily, a sign that the meat is tender. If you have a meat thermometer, insert it into one drumstick to check the internal temperature. It should reach 75\u00b0C (165\u00b0F) for perfect cooking.<\/p>\n

Remove the drumsticks from the oven and place them on a serving dish. Let them rest for a few minutes, covered with aluminum foil, before serving. Deglaze the baking dish with a little water to collect the cooking juices. Before serving, brush the drumsticks with these juices. Any remaining juices can be served alongside mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

You can enjoy these delicious drumsticks hot or cold, accompanied by a green salad, roasted vegetables, or rice. The spices give the chicken a wonderful flavor, and baking makes the skin crispy on the outside while keeping the meat tender and juicy inside. <\/p>\n
