Number of steps:  5 simple steps
Time taken: 3 min to prepare ,marinate for 2 hours or overnight, and 40 min in the oven
Approx. 300 kcal per 6oz (large) drumstick

About This Dish:
I recently bought chicken drumsticks at Trader Joes for $2.50! It came with 5 large drumsticks totaling to 1.88lb. So what did I do with them? I made Japanese style tandoori chicken drumsticks! I can't emphasize enough how EASY this was. It took me 3 minutes to mix the ingredients, I left it to marinate overnight, and then I put it in the oven for 40 minutes while I did some yoga. It came out absolutely DELICIOUS. My boyfriend and I finished ALL drumsticks for lunch. Since I marinated it overnight, I could taste the amazing seasoning even in the center of the drumstick.

What You Need:
(For 5 or 6 large drumsticks, mine were 6oz each)
  • 5 or 6 large chicken drumsticks
  • 300g (or around 1 cup) of plain yogurt 
  • 1/2 tbsp of salt
  • 1/2 tbsp of pepper
  • 3 tbsp of curry powder
  • 1 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 3 or 4 tbsp of Japanese sake
  • 1 tsp of grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp of chili powder or chili

3. Preheat your oven to 390F. Once you have marinated the chicken, take it out and place it on a oven safe pan. You could also place cookie sheets underneath if you like (for a mess-free approach).

1. In a ziploc bag, put in ALL the ingredients and MIX. Use your hands and just massage the chicken.

4. Place it in the oven for 20 min. After 20 min, flip the chicken and place it in the oven for another 20 min; that's 40 min total! You may smell burns but don't worry that's most likely the sauce burning on the pan. The chicken will be PERFECT, I promise.

2. This is what it should look like after you mix it! Place it in the fridge and let it marinate for 2 hours or more. Preferably overnight!

5. Once you've cooked the chicken for 40  minutes total, take it out and cut into a piece of 1 drumstick to check if it is cooked through. Serve with rice and veggies!
