I love chicken. It's one of my favorite foods. My husband on the other hand, could eat chicken twice a year and have had enough. As a result of his distaste for chicken, I have created a variety of ingenious and delicious recipes over the years. One even my chicken hater likes is this spicy drumstick recipe.
Spicy Chicken Drumsticks
As many drumsticks as you need - I make 24 at a time. (They can have skin or be skinless whatever you prefer)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Montreal Steak Spice
Preheat oven to 400F. I use convection for this recipe. The circulating air in the oven makes the chicken seem barbecued and helps cook it quickly.
Place all the drumsticks in a large bowl, big enough to hold them all. Drizzle oil over them to give them a slightly oil surface. They shouldn't be dripping in oil, just lightly coated.
Now sprinkle them with spice. You can use seasoned salt, garlic - whatever you like. They turn out even better if you can let them marinate in the spices for awhile before you cook them. I prepare the chicken in the morning, cover the bowl and refrigerate then only cook them hours later for supper. If you don't have time to marinate, you can cook them right away also- they still taste great.
Place them on a rack, place the rack in the center of the oven, cook until done. In the convection oven at 400F they cook in about 30 - 35 minutes.
Serve with your favorite sides. We like pilaf rice and broccoli with ours - at least I do!.
Great recipe for a crowd. Can also be served cold.
