Tandoori Chicken Drumsticks

This Indian-inspired dish is perfect for a cocktail party or a football game get-together. You can also serve this as the appetizer for an Asian-influenced dinner.

Ingredients
4 lbs chicken drumsticks (about 15-18)
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup plain yogurt

1. Remove skin from the drumsticks. Make some semi-deep slits into the each drumstick, as this will quicken the cooking.
2. In a bowl, combine garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, red and black peppers, sugar, lemon juice, salt, cilantro. and yogurt.
Setting aside a small bowl as the sauce, add the chicken to the rest of the marinade, and toss. Cover the bowl and leave in
the refrigerator for 5-6 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Prepare the grill or broiler of the oven. Grill each side for about 7-8 minutes. If using the broiler, use only about 6-7
minutes on each side.
4. Serve with the reserved sauce.
