Ingredients
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1½ tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- Zest and juice of 2 limes, plus extra wedges to serve
- 1kg chicken drumsticks (skins removed, if preferred)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bulb garlic, halved
- Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish (optional)
Method
1. Combine the paprika, cumin, mustard, honey, oil, lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Massage the chicken in the marinade until well coated. Nestle the garlic halves among the chicken. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6.
2. Lightly grease a baking tray or ovenproof dish. Add the marinated chicken along with the garlic bulbs. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear when inserted with a skewer.
3. Serve the chicken with the lime wedges for squeezing and garnish with the coriander leaves, if using. Serve with rice, a tomato and onion salad, and peas, if liked.
