Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground cumin, garam masala, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, making sure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
Place the drumsticks in a baking dish and pour the low-sodium chicken broth around the chicken.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the drumsticks are cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the drumsticks before serving.
