Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks with lemongrass | Kids Eat by Shanai

Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Lemongrass


  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder (not baking soda)

MARINADE:

  • 2 stalks lemongrass, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 11/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
  • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a large glass or ceramic bowl, add the drumsticks and mix well to coat the chicken.

Place in the fridge to marinate for 15 minutes.

Pre heat oven to 120°C.

Once marinated, remove from fridge and pat chicken dry.

Place into a bag with baking powder and shake to coat each piece of chicken.

Spread out drumsticks on a greased wire rack over a tray covered in aluminium foil, this will allow any fat to drip away.  You can still bake these without a wire rack, just drain off excess fat halfway through the cook time.

Bake for 30 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.

Increase oven temperature to 220°C and move drumsticks to the top rack of the oven and bake a further 30 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Notes

In the final stage of cooking, rotate your chicken pieces around if some are cooking faster than others.
