Hey everyone! I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite lunch recipes: tender and juicy chicken drumsticks! Perfect for a midday meal that's both hearty and flavorful. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Make sure each drumstick is evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once marinated, arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
- Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful and tender chicken drumsticks for a satisfying lunch!
