COOKBOOK / 35253
Start by placing the chicken drumsticks in a pan. Add enough water to cover them, sprinkle in some salt, and give it a stir. Cover the pan and let the chicken cook for about 10-12 minutes. When they’re done, drain the water and set the chicken aside.
In a bowl, mix together crushed coriander seeds, tikka masala, chili flakes, pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, lemon juice, and yogurt until well combined.
Coat the cooked drumsticks thoroughly with this marinade, making sure every piece is nicely covered. Let them sit and soak up the flavors for at least 2 hours.
Heat a grill pan and add a little oil to prevent sticking. Grill the drumsticks until they’re golden brown and slightly charred on the outside.
Serve them hot with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to get a nice sear without drying out the meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through but still juicy (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
This dish is packed with flavor and stays tender and juicy every time. The marinade seeps deep into the meat, giving each bite a delicious, smoky taste that is hard to resist. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend barbecue.
Serve with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal. Pairing it with a side of rice or roasted potatoes also works well. A squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of your favorite sauce can add an extra burst of flavor.
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven or on the grill to keep the meat moist. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the chicken.
