Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh turmeric chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger chopped
  • 2 lemongrass stalks bottom third, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 6 6-ounce chicken drumsticks

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped onion, turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, lime zest, and curry powder. Mix well to coat the chicken drumsticks.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, coconut aminos, and fish sauce. Stir until the marinade is well combined.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the marinated chicken drumsticks to a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
  • Roast the chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes until fully cooked, basting occasionally with the juices from the dish.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the drumsticks on high for an additional 3-5 minutes at the end.
  • Garnish with additional lime zest or cilantro before serving.
