Tania’s Lime Chimichurri Grilled Drumsticks

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds skinless drumsticks
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp lime zest (from one lime)
  • pinch of red chili flakes
  • 1 large clove of garlic, well minced
  • 1/2 tsp half salt
  • about 5 grinds of fresh black pepper
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (from about 3 limes)
  • 1/4 cup olive or avocado oil
    Optional: extra chopped cilantro and fresh limes to garnish

Directions:

  • Prepare the marinade by combining the parsley, cilantro, lime zest and juice, red chili flakes, garlic, salt, and chosen oil in a food processor.
  • Add the marinade and skinless drumsticks to a large, sealable plastic bag or a dish with a secure lid.
  • Marinade overnight.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Cover with foil or a secure glass lid and bake at 350°F for about 35 to 40 minutes.  This should partially cook the chicken.
  • To finish off, either BBQ or broil to crisp up the outside of the drumstick!

You can squeeze lime on if you want. Serve and enjoy!
