Spicy Baked Chicken Drumsticks

Spicy baked chicken drumsticks are an instant hit with the guests who visit our home. Unlike the chicken drumsticks served in a restaurant, these baked chicken drumsticks do not need any oil at all. Hence this recipe is a very healthy option for calorie conscious individuals. 

Ingredients
Chicken Drumsticks - 6
Curd (preferably hung curd or thick curd) - 3 tbsp
Ginger - 1 inch
Garlic - 1 big pod or 3 medium pods
Green Chillies - 5 (As per taste)
Chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/4 tsp
Chopped Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
Salt - as per taste

Grind to Paste
Garlic+Green Chillies+Ginger+Chopped Coriander Leaves

Method of Preparation
1. Wash the drumsticks and make slits on them.
2. In a bowl add the rest of the ingredients including the ground paste and mix well. 
3. Now add this mixture to the drumsticks and mix well so that, they get a good coating of the marinade. Let the chicken rest in the marinade overnight or for 24 hours. 
4. In a preheated oven at 350F place the drumsticks on a greased baking tray and let it bake for 45 min. 
5. After 45 min, turn the drumsticks over and cook for another 30 to 45 min or until they turn golden brown.
6. Once the drumsticks are cooked, increase the oven temperature to 450F and let the chicken become crisp for 15-20 minutes.
7. Serve the spicy baked chicken drumsticks hot with onion rings.

  9. I don't know why, because it's always in my house, but I tend to forget about marinating in yogurt. Silly of me because it's a fantastic tenderizer and it tastes great. Thank you for joining up at the blog hop at Two for Tuesday. This is a great recipe.
