Description
A flavorful and aromatic recipe for Colombian marinated chicken drumsticks, featuring a vibrant blend of garlic, cumin, oregano, and citrus. Perfectly seasoned and juicy, these drumsticks are ideal for grilling or baking.
Ingredients
8 chicken drumsticks, skin on
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, olive oil, white vinegar, and honey to the bowl and whisk until well combined to form the marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and toss to coat each piece thoroughly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on the rack, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
