Number Of Ingredients 9

For lavender marinade:
6 Chicken Drumsticks
2 tsp of Lavender
Zest of 1 Lemon
Leaves from 2 to 3 Sprigs of Thyme
2 tbsp of Olive Oil
2 tbsp of Honey
Juice of Half Lemon
Salt (to taste)

Steps:

1. Crush lavender with a mortar and pestle. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Mix well! Add and coat chicken drumsticks with marinade. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. When the chicken is ready for baking, preheat oven to 180C. Bake the chicken together with the marinade for 45 minutes. Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking time. Baste the marinade on the new side. 3. You may skip this step but I prefer the drumsticks to be coated with a thicker sauce. Therefore, I reduced the juices for a few minutes in a saucepan to achieve a thicker consistency. You can chose to either coat the drumsticks with sauce or use it as a dipping sauce. Serve immediately!
