Chicken Drumstick with Paprika and Garlic

I made some pasta for dinner the other night, and wanted something else to serve with the pasta. Found this easy and simple roasted chicken drumsticks recipe from Bill Granger.

This couldn't be any easier. Simply mix the marinade, rub all over the chicken drumsticks, leave to marinade for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. About an hour before serving, roast the chicken in a preheated oven until cooked and charred in places.

The marinade is a mixture of soy sauce, lime juice, crushed garlic, ground cumin, paprika, grated ginger and chopped chilli (which I have substitute with dried coarse chilli flakes).

Delicious! Very yummy eaten with lots of fresh coriander leaves.

Chicken Drumsticks with Paprika and Garlic
(source from goodfoodchannel.com, Bill Granger)
8 chicken drumsticks
5 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
5cm piece root ginger, peeled and grated
1 small red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped (replaced with 1/2 tsp coarse chilli flakes)

1. Using a sharp knife, make a few slashes, about 0.5cm deep, through the thicker parts of the chicken and place in a dish.
2. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Using your hands, rub this marinade all over the chicken drumsticks. Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least an hour, or overnight if possible.
3. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 or light a barbecue.
4. Place the chicken on a baking tray and roast for 40 minutes or until cooked through and lightly charred in places. Serve.
