hourGreek yogurt marinades are a great way to bring big flavor and tender texture to chicken. For this drumstick sheet pan supper, we load up the yogurt marinade with Garam Masala, Kashmiri Chile Powder and lots of garlic and ginger. We roast these alongside cauliflower and serve them up with herbed yogurt and our Quick Pickled Red Onions. Simple. Satisfying. Sublime.
Ingredients
12 drumsticks
- For the Yogurt Marinade:
1.5 cups Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Garam Masala
2 tsp Kashmiri Chile Powder
1 tsp salt
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 -inch piece of ginger, grated
- For Roasting & Serving:
1 head cauliflower, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 red onion, slivered
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for serving
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Quick Pickled Red Onion, for serving
Fresh parsley or cilantro and lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prior to marinating the drumsticks, using a knife, make three slashes in each drumstick, through the skin and meat to the bone.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garam Masala, Kashmiri Chile Powder, grated garlic, grated ginger and salt. Add in the drumsticks and stir to combine and coat the drumsticks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 mins or overnight.
- When you’re ready to roast the drumsticks, heat the oven to 375°F. Line to sheet pans with parchment.
- In a large bowl, add the cauliflower and slivered red onion and drizzle with Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Season with the Tikka Masala Blend – about 1 Tbl. Toss to coat. Divide the cauliflower between the two sheet pans and spread in an even layer to the edges.
- Divide the drumsticks, with the yogurt marinade clinging to them, between the two sheet pans spacing them amongst the cauliflower and onions. Season the drumsticks with Tikka Masala Blend.
- Roast for 15 mins. Redistribute the chicken and vegetables on the pans and return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 mins or until an instant read thermometer registers 160°F in the thickest part of the drumstick. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Run the sheet pans under the broiler to crisp up the skin and brown the cauliflower – about 4 minutes.
- Make the yogurt sauce by whisking 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with the cilantro and lemon juice. Serve the sheet pan with dollops of yogurt sauce and a scattering of pickled red onion, parsley or cilantro and lemon wedges.
