Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium Chicken drumsticks ((~1 1/2 lb))
1/4 cup Unsalted butter ((melted))
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt

  • Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
  • Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

YUMMY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMMIES

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 chicken drumsticks, bone-in, skin removed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large Vidalia onions, peeled, quartered and thinly slice
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons rum
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken and pat dry. In a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken in 1 layer, mix together the lemon juice, brown sugar, oil, garlic, paprika, garam masala, ginger, turmeric, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake until the chicken reaches 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, warm the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Saute, cooking slowly, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in the raisins and rum, and use a wooden spoon to loosen any onion bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, leaving just the rum scented flavor, about 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. When the chicken reaches 150 degrees F, spoon the onion-raisin mixture over the chicken. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, then return chicken to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, uncovered. The chicken will be fully cooked when it reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or cold.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN DRUMETTES



Balsamic Chicken Drumettes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 sprigs of rosemary
5 garlic cloves, halved
10 to 12 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
  • Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

BAKED CHICKEN DRUMMIES



Baked Chicken Drummies image

Prepare the marinade in 5 minutes, marinate 2 hours and then into the oven to bake - too easy! For a budget friendly family meal for 4, serve with chips, a simple salad on vegetables on the side. Preparation time does not include the two hours marinating time required. You can use a large Ziploc bag for the marinade to save on washing up if you wish to. This recipe was made using competition ingredients for Dining on a Dollar comp. For a great home-made ponzu sauce - see recipe#487741 #487741 (You could just make up the small amount as used in this recipe) Alternatively, I think a blend of soy sauce and lime juice would work well

Tips:

  • Pat the chicken drumsticks dry: This will help the marinade adhere better and prevent the chicken from steaming.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your chicken drumsticks the most flavor. Experiment with different recipes to find one that you like.
  • Marinate the chicken drumsticks for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken drumsticks over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Flip the chicken drumsticks halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken drumsticks: They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making them more juicy and tender.
