Lonumirus Chicken Drumsticks



My little guy used to be easier to feed but nowadays when it comes to chicken he is getting a bit picky on how its cooked. He prefers the drumstick and it has to be either roasted or baked.
I always make a batch of lonumirus , which is a fiery hot chilli paste, and keep it stored in the fridge to be used when needed. I decided to bake my chicken slathered with this fiery hot paste but mellowed the chilli flavour by adding coconut milk.  The flavour was delicious with a big thumbs up from the little guy.

Recipe: Lonumirus Chicken Drumsticks

8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
2 tbsp lonumirus, you can get the recipe here
1/4 cup coconut milk ( I used can, you can use fresh thick coconut milk or mix 3 tbsp coconut milk powder with 1/4cup water)
1 lime


With a sharp knife make a few slashes across the flesh of the chicken. Season the chicken pieces with a big pinch of salt.

In a small bowl mix coconut milk, lonumirus and lime juice, mix with a spoon.

Mix the prepared spice mix into the chicken pieces and leave to marinate for at least an hour in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to about 220 degrees C. Arrange the chicken pieces on a lightly oiled baking tray or in an oven-proof dish.

Bake till the chicken pieces are cooked through, about 45 minutes. You can even pop these onto a barbecue !!!

Enjoy with some baked potatoes, masala mash,   or even with rice.
