Chicken Drumsticks-Easy version

Chicken dishes are always relished by all at home except Amma, eventhough she cooks the most amazing chicken curry in the world. Yes...my Amma don't eat fish or meat.She only have eggs, that also very rarely. Achan(my dad) is also not a big fan of chicken, but he will have it without any complaints. :) His favourite non-veg item award goes to Beef roast/curry.He likes the Garlic chicken i make when i am at home.

 Only after marriage, i started cooking all by myself although i used to be my Amma's helper in our kitchen. I came to this place called Visakhapatnam where my husband Sanju is working. Its been 3 years and 9 months of blissful life and now we have an angel daughter Shikha who is almost 2 years old. Now she is my biggest critic when it comes to cooking. She just enjoys food, specially chicken. After getting married to Sanju, i used to cook(still cooking) for a hungry bunch of 15-20 bachelors almost every weekend. Very terrifying...isn't it?? Well.. to be honest, initially i used to panic when weekends come and now i can say i  became kind of an expert in making Chicken curry. All thanks to Sanju's friends and coursemates. :) But i enjoy every bit of it.

Now onto our today's recipe.These chicken drumsticks can be easily made at home and they are sooo yumm..It is crispy on the outside and juicy inside.. :) I just made two drumsticks for Shikha and Sanju this weekend. But here i am sharing the recipe for four pices of chicken legs.
