Chicken drumsticks are not my first choice in meal options, but they can be an economical choice, and a good option to feed a family, so I'm forever trying to come up with interesting ways to use them.
Here's four tasty ways to use chicken drum sticks, I've pulled from Recipe Tin Eats, that go beyond throwing some meat and potatoes on a roasting dish. You might have noticed I post a lot of recipes from the website. I love Recipe Tin Eats because they create straightforward recipes, that mostly use everyday ingredients that are easy to find in New Zealand, and explain substitutions (or what you shouldn't sub) in the recipe notes, which is particularly helpful if you don't have a lot of experience cooking, or with a certain cuisine.
Crispy Baked Chicken Legs
Level up your tray bake from soggy chicken drumsticks to these crispy ones.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Caribbean Rice and Beans
This recipe packs some big, big flavours, for minimal effort, and will mix up your boring weekly meal rotation for sure!
African Chicken Curry
I love a recipe that uses chicken drums in another way besides baking. And curry is great way to make things go a little further. Another recipe to mix up your dinner ideas!
Honey Mustard Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Unbelievably easy, just spoon over the sauce and bake. Super tasty, and a nice change from traditional "roast" flavours for chicken and potatoes
