Provided by cookism

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

For lavender marinade:
6 Chicken Drumsticks
2 tsp of Lavender
Zest of 1 Lemon
Leaves from 2 to 3 Sprigs of Thyme
2 tbsp of Olive Oil
2 tbsp of Honey
Juice of Half Lemon
Salt (to taste)

Steps:

1. Crush lavender with a mortar and pestle. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Mix well! Add and coat chicken drumsticks with marinade. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. When the chicken is ready for baking, preheat oven to 180C. Bake the chicken together with the marinade for 45 minutes. Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking time. Baste the marinade on the new side. 3. You may skip this step but I prefer the drumsticks to be coated with a thicker sauce. Therefore, I reduced the juices for a few minutes in a saucepan to achieve a thicker consistency. You can chose to either coat the drumsticks with sauce or use it as a dipping sauce. Serve immediately!

Tips:

Use fresh herbs and spices to create a flavorful marinade. Dried herbs and spices can also be used, but they will not be as potent.
Allow the chicken or fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. The longer the meat marinates, the more flavor it will absorb.
When grilling chicken or fish, cook it over medium-high heat to prevent it from drying out.
If you are baking chicken or fish, cook it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
Serve the chicken or fish with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lavender marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to chicken or fish. It is perfect for grilling, baking, or pan-frying. With its unique floral flavor, lavender marinade will elevate any dish. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook chicken or fish, give lavender marinade a try. You won't be disappointed.
