Tumeric chicken drumsticks

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks (approx. 1.2kg)

  • 2 tbsp ground turmeric

  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  2. Line a large tray with baking paper.

  5. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with extra olive oil.

  6. Sprinkle turmeric, coriander seeds and cumin onto the chicken.

  7. Season with salt and pepper.

  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the drumsticks are golden and cooked through.

  10. To serve, scatter with coriander leaves and serve with Lebanese bread to soak up the sauce.

Steph De Sousa

Steph De Sousa cooks as The Frugal Foodie, building recipes around what's already in the pantry and the produce nobody wants to throw out. Her style is straightforward and budget-aware without being austere: roast vegetable peelings, second-day rice, a freezer worked properly. She brings practical home rhythms to Savour and Wander.
