What to season chicken drumsticks with?

With just a few seasonings, you can quickly and easily season chicken. We used a blend of minced garlic, chili powder, honey and oil.

Fresh lime was added to the seasoning and combined for amazing flavor. This simple blend makes the chicken so fabulous.

Make sure all of the chicken is well coated with this delicious seasoning. I like to rub it in to make sure every inch is covered generously.

Tips:

• Keep the skin on the chicken drumsticks to lock in flavor. It also keeps the chicken extremely moist.
• Chicken broils very quickly so be careful not to burn it. I would not walk away during this step as it needs to be watched very carefully.
• Use the best ingredients possible. Fresh lime is preferred.
• Broiling is the perfect finishing touch. While the chicken will be fully cooked prior to this step, I suggest not skipping this step. It makes the chicken crispy on the outside with a golden brown coating.

Variations:

• Chicken thighs make a great substitution. Just make sure to use bone in thighs with the skin on. Also, the cooking time will vary based on the size.
• Baking option. You can bake the chicken for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees. Once cooked, remove the foil so the chicken can brown for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Garlic. We used minced garlic but you can always substitute fresh or even garlic powder in this recipe.
