TGIF, You Guys 😊

No school today, yay. I am still lazying on my bed at the moment. I can hear my fur babies meowing already, as normally at 6.30 AM I would feed them, and yet it is 7.20 AM and I have yet to step outside of my bedroom 😁 Again, no school! So I feel like just laying down under the blanket 🀣

Any plans for the weekend?

I checked my outside garden 2 days ago. I could see rhubarb popping out already 😍 While in the basement, the latest seeds I planted sunflower and pumpkin, they are also finally growing. I can't wait to take everything out to the garden 😊😊😊😊

But for now, let's bake some chicken drumsticks 😊

2.5 kg chicken drumstick
2 lemons
1/4 c peanut oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tbsp sweet paprika powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
MSG, if using

Coat the chicken with the spices, oil, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Cover with clingwrap and marinade for at least an H before baking. I like marinating them 2-5 H and sometimes overnight, but even 30 minutes would work just fine 😊

Now, with this recipe, you can air fry the chicken, BBQ the chicken, but for today, we are baking them in the oven, on preheated 350 F (depending on the oven, 400 F works as well), until cooked through (at least an H if it's on 350 F)

Take out of the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then enjoy 😊
