Let’s make my very simple to prepare tandoori chicken, My ultimate trick with drumstick is to prick them with a knife all around the drumstick so that the marinade will infuse well and flavors will soak in this also makes the drumstick cook towards the inside. 


What you will need 


● 10-14 chicken drumsticks (mguu)

● 1 medium fresh ginger sliced 

● 4 cloves of garlic 

● Juice of 2 lemon

● 3 heaped tablespoons plain thick yoghurt 

● 3-4 tablespoons tomato paste 

● 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

● 1 teaspoon curry powder 

● 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 

● 1 teaspoon cumin powder 

● 1 tablespoon honey

● 1 cup chopped coriander

● Salt to Taste 


What to do 


▪ Use a knife and prick or slightly put some cuts halfway on the drumsticks, arrange the drumsticks on a baking pan, sprinkle some salt, black pepper, half of the lemon juice and set aside.


▪ In a blender put the the ginger, garlic cloves, turmeric, curry powder, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, tomato paste, Thick yoghurt and honey give it a nice blend until smooth then pour the blended mixture on the chicken ensuring the marinade is distributed accordingly and all over the drumsticks turn them so that you ensure even coating of the marinade, bake In the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 1 hour remove from oven flip over the chicken then take it back in the oven for another 30 minutes or until you see the liquid is almost evaporated and the drumstick crust is caramelized and you start seeing natural oils on the baking tray. Sprinkle some coriander on top and serve with a side salad and some garlic yoghurt.
