Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • herbs of your choice I used an Italian seasoning blend, but, sage, marjoram, or rosemary would also be good choices
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • black pepper
  • salt I used 1 tablespoon, but adjust according to your personal preference.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix milk and lemon juice, and wait for 15 minutes.
  2. Put chicken drumsticks in a bowl. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and the rest of the ingredients on them. Mix everything really well.
  3. Add the curdled milk (the milk and lemon juice mixture), mix again, cover the bowl, and put it in the fridge overnight.
  4. Before you bake the chicken, let it sit outside the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Put the chicken in an oven-safe baking dish, pour the marinade (the mixture in the bowl), and use a meat thermometer to make sure it cooks just right.
  6. Carefully take out the pan. Pour the liquid that is in the bottom of the pan into a small saucepan. ( If you prefer you can also use a strainer to separate any bits).
  7. Put the chicken back in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown. Watch it closely! ( As a reminder chicken's internal temperature should be  at a minimum of 165 °F (73.9 °C) as measured with a food thermometer)
  8. While that's happening, cook down the liquid you saved in the saucepan.
  9. Pour the reduced sauce over the chicken and let it sit in the turned-off oven for 5 minutes. Enjoy your tasty chicken!
