Spicy Roasted Chicken Drumsticks
We have been eating a lot of drumsticks around my house lately because my kids are over chicken, but still seem to like drumsticks, so I made this spicy roasted chicken drumsticks recipe. The chicken was quite simple to make, smelled delicious while roasting, and tasted moist, juicy, and tasty. We all loved the chicken and thought it paired nicely with basmati rice with garlic, pine nuts, and fresh parsley, along with some asparagus with tomato sauté with balsamic and feta.
