Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of garam masala to the marinade.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the drumsticks in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
• Make sure to let the chicken drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken drumsticks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the drumsticks in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the tandoori chicken drumsticks with naan bread, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
