Ingredients

3 lbs skinless chicken drumsticks
2/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 drops red food coloring
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons oil

Directions

1

Wash chicken and remove skin from drummies (pulling it off with a paper towel makes it easier, also if you do this when they are slightly frozen it helps).
2

Whisk together yogurt, ginger, chili powder, ground coriander, salt, pepper, lemon juice, food coloring (optional), tomato paste, and oil.
3

Add chicken to marinade and chill overnight.
4

The next day, preheat oven to 375°F.
5

Place chicken legs on a foil lined baking sheet (do not add any extra marinade that falls away) and bake at 375°F for 40-60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
6

Finish cooking chicken on a grill or under the broiler for 5-8 minutes (gives a light char).
