Ingredients
- ( approx 1 lb) chicken6 pieceswashed and skinned drumsticks
Method
1
Pat the washed drumsticks dry with paper towels, then make shallow cuts across the meat to allow marinades to penetrate.
2
Combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt in a bowl to form a smooth marinade.
3
Coat each drumstick evenly with the yogurt mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered, then place in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (longer marinating time will enhance flavor).

4
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil or lightly oil it.
5
Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the prepared tray, spacing them evenly so heat circulates around each piece.
6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through cooking, until the exterior is charred and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
