Chicken is a classic dinner. It’s economical and it’s easy to prepare, but let’s be honest- it can get a little boring. The classics are classics because they work and you can always go back to your tried-and-true chicken recipes, but how about spicing things up a bit with these Chili-Lime Drumsticks from MyRecipes?

Chili-Lime Drumsticks

Ingredients:

16 chicken drumsticks
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar

2. Mix remaining ingredients. Pour over drumsticks; turn them to coat.

3. Cover with foil; bake 15 minutes.

4. Remove foil and turn drumsticks; bake until cooked through – 35 minutes – basting often with pan juices.

5. Let rest for 10 minutes, then serve hot; or let cool, cover and refrigerate to serve cold.
