About Greek style baked chicken drumsticks

Greek Style Baked Chicken Drumsticks are a flavorful and nutritious dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. These drumsticks are marinated in a blend of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and other Greek-inspired spices, infusing them with robust, earthy flavors. Baked to perfection, the dish avoids excess oil by using the oven instead of frying, making it a healthier preparation method. Lean chicken drumsticks are a great source of protein, supporting muscle health and sustained energy. Olive oil, a key marinade component, provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while lemon juice adds vitamin C and a refreshing tang. The use of herbs like oregano and garlic contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. Pair it with roasted vegetables or a fresh Greek salad for a well-rounded, wholesome meal. While the dish is relatively low in fat and carbs, keeping portion sizes in mind is essential due to the calorie content of chicken skin.
