I’m a big fan of chicken drumsticks. I typically grill them, but as the temperature drops and the snow starts to fly I’m not as excited to go outside for cooking. So to substitute for the lack of a nice grilled flavor I was looking for something new. For that reason I came up with this coconut coated recipe.
It’s rather simple and straightforward so the cooking time is quick and easy. I highly recommend this for your next night of making chicken in the house.
