Baked chicken drumsticks (marinated in tomato)
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. A delicious and hearty lunch can be made from chicken thighs. I suggest using a tomato-sour cream marinade. It makes the meat tender and very juicy, while spices and garlic add extra flavor. Chicken "loves" curry, paprika, and garlic. You can use ready-made spice blends. The finished dish can be served at the table.

4. Baking time always varies. It depends on which part of the chicken you're using. If you're baking and marinating a whole chicken, it will take about 1.5 hours or even more (at 180 degrees Celsius). It also depends on your oven's capabilities and power. Chicken wings usually take no more than 30 minutes to bake. Once the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool down slightly.
