Herbs Roasted Chicken Drumsticks is slightly spicy but not too much, with a scent of rosemary and thyme. It all makes this dish perfect. Ideally, if you have a cast iron baking dish, the chicken fingers come out perfect. I used to be sceptical about a pot of cast irons, but since I started using them, I have begun to notice their value. The meat comes out juicier, more aromatic, just perfect. A cast iron vessel may be a cost but worth investing in because a well-stored pot will serve you for years and is unbreakable.
How to choose the best ingredients for Herbs Roasted Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks: choose the best chicken fingers you can, quality is always important and the free-range tastes really sticky.
Thyme & Rosemary: for me, thyme and rosemary are the essential herbs for seasoning chicken. You can add after the baking twig to make the chicken even more aromatic when you are fresh. When I have fresh herbs in my garden in the summer season, I always do it.
Granulated garlic: granulated garlic is the most convenient to use, but it can also be fresh, and then you use 1 to 2 of garlic and crush the press or chop it finely.
