Bring to room temperature: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400°F/ 200°C (fan oven 350°F/ 180°C).

Bake drumsticks: Place the marinated chicken on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.

Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer - the internal temperature should be 165°F/ 74°C. If you don't have one, make a small cut at the thickest part of the leg, near the bone - the flesh should be white and the juices clear. If the chicken is not done yet, return it to the oven and check again after about 5 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
