Today I realized that I haven’t ate chicken for quite a long time. When I was a teenager chicken drumsticks weren’t available as a separate part of a chicken. When my mother wanted to prepare chicken for dinner she used to buy whole chicken thighs and cook it as is or cut into two parts.. I’m not even sure that drumsticks are on sale in Russian stores now, may be except the capital. Anyway, nicely spiced and roasted chicken drumsticks is a good and quick-to-cook midweek meal (with some rice or potatoes on a side) or a very good accompaniment to a beer! For this recipe I grind dried coriander seeds, then add turmeric and mild paprika, stir into the meat along with olive oil and let it marinade. If you’re hungry, skip the marinating and roast it straightaway! 🙂
Coriander Chicken Drumsticks
- Grind or crush coriander seeds, mix with turmeric and paprika. Combine with olive oil and lime juice. Rub the marinade into chicken drumsticks. Add garlic cloves, season generously with pepper and salt to taste. Cover and leave to marinade in the fridge for 1-3 hours, or skip this step and arrange chicken (with all marinade juices) onto a baking tray or dish.
- Bake in the preheated 200C oven for 20 minutes. Then low the heat to 150C, cover with a piece of foil and bake for 10 minutes longer or until the drumsticks have cooked through.
- Serve warm, but they are also good cold. The cooked drumsticks will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

Another beautiful photograph and tasty recipe! Love this one. And I really like cold leftover chicken, it’s delicious.
It’s one of my fav and speedy to prepare midweek meals! 🙂
These are some of my favorite seasonings for chicken! Yum!
Coriander is such an aromatic seasoning, love it too! 🙂 Thanks for commenting, Michelle!
You bet, thank you!!
Lovely! Can’t do without paprika in my kitchen and coriander is a favourite too 🙂
Oh yes, I use paprika fairy often, too! 😀
Very nice shot! Chicken looks delicious:)
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Yummy chicken and gorgeous photo. I love drumsticks.
Thank you, Suzanne! I love chicken, so many ways to prepare it! 🙂
those look fantastic–always good to have new recipes for drumsticks. We make them a lot as my kids enjoy, but never get too crazy with seasonings. Definitely will try this!
And what about me – I do like experiments with spices and herbs, chicken is such a nice meat that almost any spice goes well with it! 🙂 How do you usually cook drumsticks, Liz? Roasting or frying?
Looks delicious! I just bought several drumsticks as they were on sale and have been looking for new recipes. Perfect timing!
What’s the country/city you’re living in, lucky girl? 😀 I’ve never seen drumsticks or any other chicken parts on sale here!
Chicago suburbs. It’s all about the breast here
These look great!
Thank you, dear! Simple but yummy! 🙂
Even your chicken looks gourmet. You’re amazing. Coriander seeds are one of my favorite things, along with garlic. This is a perfect and simple weeknight meal that i must try.
😀 Really? May be because I cut that thick part.. It’s good even on the next day (after reheating). 🙂
Sounds incredibly delicious Mila!
Very sweet of you! Thanks! 🙂
