Happy Friday, everyone! I can’t believe it’s already the end of a really busy week 😃 I’m leaving you with a recipe that’s a favorite of my dad’s. Every member of my family loves it, too. By the way, I come from a family of 9 siblings, so this feeds a crowd and is easy to make, except for peeling the garlic, which each of us has had our fair share of. You can make it as garlicky as you wish, with more or less chicken. This is a recipe that’s really not much of a recipe. Let’s get started.
Ingredients
- 7 Chicken drumsticks (you can use more or less)
- 4-5 heads of garlic (peeled)
- Extra virgin olive oil drizzled generously
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 7 spice
- 2-3 cups of water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Score the chicken with two slits on top, place the pieces in the baking dish and drizzle with the olive oil about 1/4 cup. Sprinkle generously with the spices for reference I measured 3/4 tbs. Salt, 1/4 tsp. Black pepper, 1/3 tsp. 7 spice (I didn’t use all of it).
- Massage the chicken with the spice and olive oil, now add the garlic save some to smash with the mix of spices add to the baking dish.
- Add 2 cup water from the side of the dish. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes uncover and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy, at this point if you feel your chicken needs more water go ahead and add some.
- Enjoy with bread and a side of plain yogurt.
