Baked Chicken Drumsticks

As part of my plan for the next day's dinner; I marinated some chicken drumsticks in a zip-lock bag overnight; bring them out to room temperature for 30 minutes, and baked them in my Convection Oven or you can bake them in Air Fryer.  I served these yummy drumsticks with my homemade healthy chili tuna pasta salad with loads of butter-head lettuce and baby tomatoes.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

5 chicken drumsticks (washed and pat dry with paper towels)

1 tbsp. corn oil

1 tsp. chicken stock granules

2 tsp. paprika

3 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1 tsp. brown sugar

Methods:

1. Place the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl.
2. Drizzle oil over the chicken and mix it using your clean hands.  Put the oiled drumsticks into a Zip lock bag.
3. In a small bowl, combine chicken stock granules, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme and brown sugar with a fork.
4. Pour the seasoning onto the chicken and toss everything together until the chicken is fully coated.  Squeeze out air, zip the bag and refrigerate it overnight to marinate.
5. Bring the marinated chicken to room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
6. Place the chicken drumsticks on a rack, and bake in a Convection Oven of 190 degree Celsius for 20 minutes, turn over the drumsticks and continue to bake until golden and fully cooked.
7. Remove from oven, let it rest for a few minutes and serve with some side dishes.

The recipe for the side dish can be obtain in my next blog.
