Baked drumsticks in sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It's a great way to bake chicken in the oven. I add mayonnaise, garlic, and spices for chicken thighs. You can also add a bit of tomato or ketchup to make the meat's flavor even more pronounced. Chicken goes very well with curry and garlic, so I didn't hold back on these spices. As a side dish, I opted for a vegetable salad, which pairs and complements the chicken perfectly. The finished dish can now be served.

Step 1
1. After baking, the drumsticks will release some fat, which can be used to drizzle over the side dish (especially mashed potatoes). Whether to cut the drumsticks or not is up to you—consider their size. Small ones should not be cut, otherwise they will dry out too much in the oven.

5. Bake until a golden crust forms (monitor doneness yourself by checking with a skewer). Let the chicken rest for a while, and in the meantime, you can prepare the side dish.
