Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and toss to ensure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Discard any leftover marinade.
Step 5
Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Optional: For a crispy skin, turn on the broiler for the last 5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving and enjoy your Paleo Curry Chicken Drumsticks!
