"A tasty sounding recipe from cookbook titled The Family Kitchen Healthy Fast-Food. Have not included 1 hour marination time. Also think this recipe would be nice with thighs on the bone too."

directions

  • Mix the honey with the coriander (cilantro) and stir in the lime zest and juice.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks and mix well, cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat the grill (broiler).
  • Grill (broil) the chicken drumsticks, turning and brushing frequently with the marinade for about 25 minutes or until cooked through (to check, pierce the drumsticks at its thickest part, next to the bone, the juices should run clear), timing could depend on size of drumsticks too.

  1. I used the recipe to make chicken wings and broiled them in the oven...I thought these were very good but hubby loved them...he really enjoyed the cilantro and lime taste...I barely could taste the ingredients....made them for one of our appy nights...thanks for posting it...=)
     
  2. Very good chicken which we all enjoyed with corn-on-the-cob and sliced tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Very tasty chicken recipe. I used boneless, skinless thighs instead of drumsticks. I loved the combination of honey, cilantro and lime. I used a sugar-free honey substitute. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful. I will be using this marinade often this summer. Made for June 2013 Aus/NZ Swap.
     
  4. This marinade made the drumsticks tender and succulent. My family enjoyed them for dinner. I will be sure to use this recipe again. Thank you for posting it.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
