Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken drumettes
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil for greasing
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken drumettes by lightly scraping the meat up towards the bone to resemble a lollipop shape. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the drumettes to the marinade and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated chicken lollipops on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown exterior.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken lollipops to rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
