Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Skillet
- Saucepan
- Air Fryer
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 dozen chicken drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- ½ cup Worcestershire sauce (salsa inglesa)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons smashed garlic
- ½ cup lime juice (or bitter orange juice)
- ¼ cup minced parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground), or more, to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Stir to coat the chicken all over. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
- Cook in preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 30 minutes, or until skin is crispy and golden brown. To make it in the air fryer, heat it at the temperature indicated above, and cook for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and cook, stirring for a minute. Pour in bitter orange juice and 1 cup of water, parsley, and simmer over low heat until it has reduced to half the liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve sauce alongside the chicken.
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Tip 2: You can freeze marinated chicken for up to three months. Just remember to thaw it in the fridge before cooking.
- Tip 3: If you like heat, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marinade for a fiery kick.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different herbs like cilantro or rosemary instead of parsley for a unique twist.
- Tip 5: Pair the chicken with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a light meal.
