"Make this once a week"

You know a recipe is pretty decent when your husband says this while eating it.

Sorry, no pics of this recipe because we ate it up like crazy animals.  I'll edit it in next time I make the recipe...

Since you have no image, here's what this one is: chicken drumsticks with a great spice rub.

Got this recipe from a Paleo site, and she made hers with turkey drumsticks--which sounds awesome--but were tough to find.  (My Whole Foods is still claiming that turkeys are in short supply after the holidays.  C'mon...)  So I made mine with the chicken drumsticks.  Still awesome, though not quite as Medieval Times-y.  Also, if you compare the original, I added cinnamon and took out coriander.  Just preference.

Ingredients:
  • 10 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • black pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix all spices in shallow bowl.
  3. Pour olive oil into a different shallow bowl.  One by one, cover drumsticks in oil and then spice rub.  
  4. Rub the spice rub in under the skin, and then return the skin to cover the drumstick.  It'll get deliciously crispy, so don't remove it.
  5. Place drumsticks on a lined baking sheet (I use a silpat).
  6. Bake for 50 minutes.
  7. Turn the oven to broil for 5 minutes to make them crispy. Flip and broil for 5 more minutes.  Done.
Seriously, yum.  And so easy.
