INGREDIENTS
Serves 6-8
- Chicken drumsticks – 1 kg, skin off

METHOD
1. Clean the chicken drumsticks and make deep slashes on the flesh.
2. Mix the rest of the ingredients except the oil to make a thick paste.
3. Add the chicken to this paste and cover it completely with the marinade. Keep the chicken covered in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C. Take out the chicken and mix it with the oil. Layer the chicken on the baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes turning halfway through. Cook till the top is crisp and the juices run clear.

NOTES
