    Preparation Steps

    1

    Clean the chicken drumsticks and remove the skin if desired. Make long, shallow cuts into the meat to help the marinade penetrate.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, grated garlic, ginger, tandoori masala spice mix, lemon juice, salt, and chili powder (if using).

    3

    Place the chicken drumsticks in the marinade and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

    4

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on the prepared sheet.

    5

    Bake the chicken drumsticks for 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly caramelized.

    6

    Serve hot with fresh salad, naan bread, or steamed rice. Offer fresh lemon wedges on the side.
