02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- 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).

Why you’ll love it

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.

Serving ideas

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.

Storage & leftovers

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.
