Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 8 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 8 hours 55 minutes

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. If you have fresh herbs on hand, I prefer them, of course. However, they are finely chopped first. It’s best to grind the dried herbs slightly in a mortar and pestle. Brush the chicken drumsticks with the marinade and let them marinate, ideally overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat: 180°C). Drain the chicken drumsticks and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken drumsticks on a baking tray in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes. Brush them with the marinade occasionally.
