Preparation time: 10 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: For the chicken drumsticks: - 12 chicken drumsticks - 3 tablespoons sweet paprika - 2 tablespoons sugar - 1 teaspoon hot paprika - 1 packet of Delicat (or another chicken seasoning) For the salad: - 1 red onion - 1 white onion - 1 cucumber - 1 clove of garlic - 1 lemon - 3 tablespoons vinegar - 3 tablespoons olive oil - 2 tablespoons chili sauce Preparation: 1. Preparing the chicken drumsticks: Start by washing the chicken drumsticks well under cold running water. Make sure they are clean and free of hairs or impurities. After washing, pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess water. 2. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the sweet paprika with the sugar and hot paprika. The sugar will add a touch of sweetness and help caramelize the drumsticks during baking, while the hot paprika will give them a spicy kick. Add a pinch of Delicat to enhance the meat's flavor. 3. Oiling the drumsticks: Brush the drumsticks with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step will not only help the spices adhere but will also contribute to achieving a crispy crust. 4. Baking: Sprinkle the paprika, sugar, and Delicat mixture over the drumsticks, making sure they are well covered. Place the drumsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to brown evenly. 5. Preparing the special salad: While the drumsticks are baking, you can prepare the salad. Dice the red and white onions into small cubes, and cut the cucumber into similar-sized pieces. Crush the garlic clove and add it to the salad. Mix the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and chili sauce in a small bowl, then pour it over the chopped vegetables. Mix well to combine the flavors. 6. Serving: Once the drumsticks are baked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate the drumsticks alongside the special salad, which adds a fresh and crunchy note. You can add a side of your choice, such as fries or rice, to complete the meal. Practical tips: - Make sure the drumsticks are at room temperature before baking for even cooking. - Experiment with different types of salad dressings. You can add avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor. - If you prefer a spicy note, add more chili sauce or even some slices of hot pepper to the salad. Nutrition and calories: This chicken drumstick recipe offers an excellent source of protein, while the salad adds essential fiber and vitamins. One serving (3 drumsticks and a portion of salad) has about 600-700 calories, depending on the amount of oil used. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use other types of meat? Yes, you can replace the chicken drumsticks with thighs or chicken breast. Baking time may vary. 2. How can I make the drumsticks crispier? Make sure to dry them well before brushing with oil and use a metal tray for a crispier texture. 3. What other sides pair well with chicken drumsticks? Wedge potatoes, vegetable rice, or even mashed potatoes are excellent options. 4. Can I prepare this recipe in advance? The drumsticks can be marinated a day ahead, and the salad can be prepared a few hours before serving. This chicken drumsticks with special salad recipe is not only simple but also lively, perfect for a family meal or a dinner with friends. I wish you happy cooking and enjoy every bite!
