Ingredients
2 servings
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Mixed leaf salad, for serving
- Tortillas, for serving
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Make deep cuts in the thickest part of the meat.
- Mix chili, garlic, oregano, paprika, and lemon juice with salt and pepper. Place the meat in a large bowl and coat with the marinade.
- Place the drumsticks side by side in a large, flat roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally. Check for doneness by piercing the thickest part - the meat is done if the juice that comes out is clear and the internal temperature near the bone is at least 80 °C.
- Serve on portion plates with lemon wedges, mixed salad, and tortillas.
