African Drumsticks is a flavorful dish that showcases the rich and diverse culinary traditions of the African continent.
These drumsticks are marinated in a blend of aromatic spices that are both bold and balanced, a blend of spicy, earthy, and savory notes with a hint of sweetness and acidity.
This chicken marinade enhances the natural flavors of the chicken. Like this Orange Pomegranate Za’atar Chicken Marinade.
The culture of grilling is as ingrained in Africa as it is in the U.S., with backyard cooks passionate about the seasonings they use. This marinade reflects that passion.
When the ingredients are all mixed together, it looks like it could pass for an African bbq sauce.
African Drumsticks are a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Africa, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures that are sure to please any palate.
Whether you’re enjoying them as part of a family meal or at a festive gathering, these drumsticks are a delicious way to explore the tastes of Africa.
African Drumsticks
⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup ketchup
2 teaspoon English mustard, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon apricot jam
6-8 chicken legs
1 tablespoon garlic flavored olive oil (or 1 tablespoon olive oil plus 1 crushed garlic clove)
Mix the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, ground ginger, apricot jam, and chopped onion in a shallow dish. Add the drumsticks and turn to coat. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for best flavor.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Brush oil evenly over surface of a 13×9-inch baking dish. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and arrange them in the baking dish. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks.
Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting and turning once or twice, until cooked through. The deeper the dish, the longer the drumsticks will take to color and cook through.
