Foodie Friday - Parmesan Drumsticks

This week's recipe is a quick mid-week fix. I made it this week for the first time and decided it deserved a post. 5-10 minutes of prep, easy peasy.

This recipes will feed 2 adults
I served mine with giant couscous and Salad.

Ingredients list:

  • 7-8 Drumsticks
  • 50 grams Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 115 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp dried Parsley
  • Salt
  • Pepper



Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees (if cooking immediately)
  • Melt the butter on the stove and pour into a large bowl
  • Add the Olive Oil to the butter and stir well
  • In a separate bowl place the Parmesan cheese, Paprika, Oregano, dried Parsley and season with Salt and Pepper

  • Lightly oil a baking tray
  • Working with one drumstick at a time, place in the bowl containing the butter and oil and coat well
  • Transfer to the bowl with the dried rub ingredients and coat well
  • Place the drumstick on the baking tray until all are in place


  • At this point you can place the tray in the fridge for few hours, which will actually help the rub stick better to the meat. Make sure to remove from the fridge about an hour before cooking
  • Cook in the oven for about 35-45 minutes, turning the drumsticks half way through cooking. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your drumsticks. Check the meat is ready before serving. If needed, continue cooking for few more minutes
  • Serve and Enjoy
