Instructions
If you want to remove the skin of the drumsticks, grasp the meaty end of the drumstick. Pull the skin down and off the end. When you're finished with the pieces, make sure to wash your hands to prevent the spread of bacteria.
In a small saucepan on medium heat at all the spices can saute for a few minutes until the spices are fragrant
Add all the spices to a blender with the yogurt, lime zest, and juice, process to almost smooth
Using a sharp knife, make about 2 slashes in every chicken drumstick
Place the drumstick in a large bowl and toss with the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
When ready, preheat the oven to 220C / 450F (less heat for fan ovens)
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a rack over the top. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange the chicken on the rack, leaving a bit of space between. Add the leftover marinade to the chicken drumsticks. Roast for about 45 minutes, turn the drumsticks and place them under the grill for about 4 to 6 minutes.
