Baked Drumsticks Prepared with Garlic, Honey, and Lime

Drumsticks can mean a musical tune to play or the leg of a fowl, such as a chicken or turkey. This part of a chicken or turkey is the meat that I like the most for stews, stocks, or simply baking them for parties. The recipe that I am sharing with you here today will blow your guests and family members away because it tasty and easy. I am Asian so most of my recipes always have the Asian flair, which includes garlic, shallot, and some turmeric. It is not just the Asian flair, but it is also healthy to eat daily.

 Ingredients:

10 drumsticks, washed and drained

Marinade sauce ingredients:

2 shallots

4 garlic cloves

1 tsp salt

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs blackstrap molasses

1 tbs honey

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp five spice

1 tsp turmeric powder

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Slit each drumstick, so that the meat can absorb the marinade sauce better.

In a mini-food processor. Grind the shallots and garlic to paste. Add the garlic-shallots paste to the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well. 

Pour the marinade over the drumsticks and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place drumsticks on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven set to 375° for 30 minutes. 

Turn the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time. Turn on the grill function for 5 minutes.

 Serve with bread, rice, or with a side of. Yum!!
