Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground turmeric, sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them well until they are fully coated with the curry mixture.
Transfer the coated drumsticks to a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly and not touching.
Pour any remaining curry mixture from the bowl over the drumsticks in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, chop the fresh cilantro and slice the green onions.
Once the drumsticks are done cooking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the drumsticks with the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavor-packed Whole30 Curry Chicken Drumsticks.
