Ingredients

• 4-6 chicken drumsticks

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp cumin

• salt and freshly cracked black pepper

• 3 limes

• 1/2 bunch cilantro

Instructions

1. Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper in a bowl.

2. Zest one of the limes. Set the zest aside, and juice the 3 limes. Add the zest, and juice to the marinade. Remove 1/4 bunch of cilantro and chop finely. (Set the other 1/4 bunch of cilantro aside) Add the chopped cilantro the marinade and stir to combine.

3. Pour the marinade into a large resealable bag and add the chicken drumsticks. Close the bag tightly and massage to mix and coat the chicken pieces in the marinade. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or longer if desired.

   When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the chicken pieces to a baking pan leaving enough room between each drumstick. Do not overcrowd. Pour the rest of the marinade in the bag over the chicken.

4. Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes. Check the chicken periodically, and base with the juices from the pan. Once the chicken is done cooking pop in the broiler for about 2 minutes, to get a nice char on the chicken. Chicken is cooked when it has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF.

5. These drumsticks are great on the grill too. Preheat your grill and coat the grill grates with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. This chicken is best cooked slowly, over low to medium heat. When the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees, remove it from the grill and serve. Enjoy!

6. Garnish the chicken with fresh slices of lime and more chopped cilantro leaves (the other 1/4 bunch).
