1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Procedure:

1) Make small gashes in the chicken drumsticks using a sharp knife, marinade the chicken by adding all the above ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
2)To cook, put the chicken drumsticks, topped by any excess marinade in an oven tray. Cover with foil and cook in a preheated oven, 190 degree centigrade/ 375 degree fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
3)Turn the drumsticks over, cover again with the foil and cook it for another 10 more minutes.
4)Using the sharp knife, cut to the bone to test that the chicken is fully cooked - the juices should run clear.
