A recipe adapted from Bella Cookbook, Issue March/April 2004. Looks just like fried chicken minus the gallons of oil!
What you need:
- 100g fresh bread or biscuit crumbs
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp fresh chopped coriander
- Half a cup of natural yoghurt
- 12 chicken drumstikcs
- Dashes of olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celcius. Mix together the crumbs, flour, cumin, chilli powder, paprika and fresh coriander. Spread the mixture on a shallow plate.
- Pour the yoghurt into another plate. Dip the chicken drumsticks frist in the yoghurt, then in the crumb mixture to coat evenly. (Note: You can make some diagonal cuts over the drumsticks' flesh to help it cook more thoroughly later)
- Place the drumsticks on a lightly oiled baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden, crisp and cooked through. Serve with potato wedges, green salad and mayonnaise!
