Cooks Tips

- To make sure the drumsticks are well cooked, pierce the thickest part and check that the juices run clear. If the meat is still slightly pink, cook a further 5 minutes. - If planning to have the drumsticks cold, cover the hot drumsticks and cook for 20 minutes. Refrigerate until well chilled. Wrap in foil or place in a lidded container to transport and keep in a chilly bin. Variations: - Use oregano or marjoram in place of rosemary. - Add 1 teaspoon paprika with the rosemary. - Add 1 geaspoon minced garlic with the rosemary.
