Ingredientes

10 to 12 chicken drumsticks (bone in, skin on)

Kosher salt

1 tbsp dry oregano

1 tbsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsp coriander

1 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

1 head garlic (about 12 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped)

1 medium yellow onion (cut into wedges)

Zest and juice of 2 lemons + 1 lemon sliced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instruções

Pat chicken dry and season with kosher salt, be sure to season under the skin too. If you have the time, arrange the chicken on a tray or a shallow dish and chill in the fridge uncovered for a few hours or overnight (optional.)

Place the chicken in a large zip bag. In a small bowl, combine spices (oregano, black pepper, coriander, paprika, and cumin.) Add the spices to the chicken in the bag.

Add the garlic, onion, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Zip the bag shut. Toss chicken around and massage to make sure it is well coated in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes, or if you have the time, refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

When ready, heat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Lightly oil a baking dish and arrange the chicken drumsticks (yes, include the onions and the marinade). Arrange lemon slices in between.

Bake for 35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and its juices run clear (internal temperature of chicken should register 165 degrees F using an instant read thermometer). If you like, broil for just a few minutes until skins are crispy to your liking.
