Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pounds chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 c Greek yogurt
  • 1 T sweet Hungarian paprika

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife to slash the meat on the drumsticks.
  2. Mix the yogurt and paprika together in a bowl. Put each drumstick in the bowl of yogurt mixture, and stir it around to cover it well. Then place in a storage container.
  3. When the meat is completely covered with seasoned yogurt, add any marinade left to the container, cover, and refrigerate for anything from 1 - 24 hours.
  4. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400.
  5. Arrange the drumsticks on a baking pan, still well covered with the seasoned yogurt, with plenty of room between them for air circulation.
  6. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.

Notes

Remember to allow time to marinate!
