Notes
- To ensure your chicken is cooked through, the best way is to use a thermometer. A thermometer inserted in the middle of the drumstick should read 180 to 185 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, another way to ensure your chicken is cooked is to pierce it with a knife and if the juices that run out are clear, your chicken should be cooked.
- Chicken thighs either boneless and skinless or with skin and bones can also be used though they might require 5 or 10 extra minutes to cook. Use the above mentioned methods for checking for doneness.
- Chicken breast can also be used, but the cooking time could vary based on size of breast.
- Serve these along with salads, rice, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, coleslaw, etc.
- Total time includes time to marinade the chicken.
