Chicken drumsticks with plums

8 servings

45 minutes

A simple, but not obvious way to bake chicken drumsticks. The recipe is divided into three stages: first, the chicken is heated with oil, salt and pepper, then ginger and chili pepper are added, and the drumsticks spend the last 15 minutes under a layer of plums - their sweet and sour taste will perfectly complement the taste of the bird. If you clean the chili from seeds and white veins, it will not be so spicy.
