Chicken preferences — For this delicious baked chicken drumsticks recipe, you can choose from bone-in chicken legs, with or without the skin, or boneless chicken thighs, which are easy on the wallet and more affordable than any other meat. Please note that the baking time for boneless chicken needs to be modified. For even cooking — Ensure that the chicken legs have come to room temperature before grilling. This step even facilitates cooking the meat. Keep the marinade moist — Regularly check the chicken while it cooks and drizzle some olive oil if the marinade looks dry. It will help to tenderize the chicken and keep it moistened till it is thoroughly cooked. For optimal results — When grilling, allow the chicken legs to bask freely on the grill without any cover. This ensures a delightful golden brown hue on the exterior. This method facilitates caramelization, rendering the chicken beautiful, crispy, and delicious with rich marinade flavors perfectly melded in the meat. Varied choice of chicken pieces — You can use whatever chicken cut you like. Chicken breasts, thighs, or even wings will make an irresistibly delicious recipe. The preference is entirely yours. But you will have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
