Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seed
1/2 teaspoon hot chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
8 chicken drumsticks (1.2kg)

Steps:

  • Crush coriander, cumin, and cardamom seeds in grinder or with mortar & pestle.
  • Toss seeds and remaining spices in a dry frying pan; stir over heat until fragrant. Remove from heat. Add oil and water, stir until combined.
  • Cut diagonal slits about 1cm apart, through to the bones, on both sides of drumsticks.
  • Rub spice mixture all over the drumsticks, place in shallow dish; cover, refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oiled griddle pan and cook drumsticks until browned and cooked through. Can also be barbecued or grilled.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist during cooking. Some good options for marinades include yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and spices.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown quickly on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The best way to check if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Indian chicken drumsticks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your taste preferences. Whether you prefer mild or spicy, these chicken drumsticks are sure to please everyone at your table.
