Tandoori-spiced Chicken Drumsticks

Serves 4
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 lime or lemon (to serve)
- 1 cup thick plain yoghurt
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 3 tbsp rice bran oil or sunflower oil
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Method
- Heat oven to 200°C
- Make three deep incisions in the flesh of each drumstick, without cutting right through. Place drumsticks in a ceramic dish. Combine lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt and chilli powder into a paste and rub all over the chicken pieces. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow juices to drain.
- At the same time, combine yoghurt, garam masala, oil and cinnamon. Remove chicken from drained juices, place in a clean dish and coat with spiced yoghurt mix. Leave to marinate for 2 hours.
- Place chicken on a rack resting in an oven pan. Roast for 30 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve with lemon or lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
