Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tbsp curry
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar optional
- 1 lime juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- parsley for garnish or other fresh herb to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to full heat.
- Squeeze the lime juice into a bowl. Add the olive oil and spices and mix well.
- Toss the chicken drumsticks in the spicy oil thoroughly. Place in a suitable sized shallow baking dish. If the pan is too large, the spices will run off the edges and dry out.
- Place foil over the dish and take it in the oven. Lower the oven temperature to 200C. Roast the chicken legs for 45 minutes. Turn the chickens couple of time to ensure that the spice oil is evenly distributed over the meat.
- Remove the foil, flip the skin side on top and heat the oven to full heat (use grill racks if you have them in the oven). Toast the chicken skin until crispy and beautifully coloured. This will take 10-15 minutes, but watch the food all the time so it doesn't burn.
- Let the chicken drumsticks to cool for a while and garnish with parsley.
