Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Use a sharp knife to slash the meat on the drumsticks.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400.
  • Arrange the drumsticks on a baking pan, still well covered with the seasoned yogurt, with plenty of room between them for air circulation.
  • Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
