- 1
In a large mixing bowl, add all the listed ingredients and mix thoroughly until the chicken drumsticks are fully coated in the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure the marinade is evenly distributed over each piece.

Cover the bowl and set it aside to marinate for at least 1 hour. For best results, refrigerate during this time to allow the flavours to fully absorb into the chicken.

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, carefully flip each drumstick to the other side. Change the oven setting to broil or grill mode and broil the chicken for an additional 10 minutes to get a slightly charred and crispy finish. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
