Ginger Garlic Drumsticks

Trolling Pintrest is something I do to kill some time before bed or at the doctors office.  Sometimes I find the base for a great recipe that for my personal tastes just needs tweaking.  I threw out pieces I didn't like and added some of my favorite things (cilantro!).  This recipe is so simple and packs a punch with flavor.  You could easily add a jalapeno for a kick.  This recipe could easily be a freezer meal.  Just stop at the marination and stick in the freezer.  The night before you want to use it just thaw in the refrigerator the morning before and yozza. You have an AMAZING main for your dinner!  Serve with cilantro lime rice and a salad!




Ingredients
2-3 lbs chicken drumsticks
8 cloves garlic
1 inch piece of ginger root
1/2 cup cilantro
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin

Directions
Add all ingredients except for the chicken and blend in a blender until the mixture is completely combined.  Place drumsticks in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the top.  Seal the bag and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator. I did mine the night before.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place chicken and all of the marinade on a baking pan.  I lined mine with a Silpat.  Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and browned on the outside.  Serve immediately.
