Free-Range Poultry Recipe

Garlic Crumbled Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup lemon juice
6 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
30 chicken drumsticks, skinned
3 cups finely crushed saltine crackers
2 tablespoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

In a medium-size bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of slat, hot red pepper sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Divide among two shallow, 2-quart baking dishes or pour into one large stainless steel baking pan. Add the drumsticks and coat well with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Heat oven to 375. In a large brown paper bag, combine cracker crumbs, oregano, mustard, paprika, and remaining salt and cayenne pepper. Shake the drumsticks in the bag to coat with the crumbs.

Arrange in 15 1/2 x 10 x 1 inch baking pans lined with aluminum foil and drizzle with melted butter. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until fork-tender and golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.
