Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks, bone-in, skin removed
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large Vidalia onions, peeled, quartered and thinly slice
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons rum
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Instructions
- Wash the chicken and pat dry. In a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken in 1 layer, mix together the lemon juice, brown sugar, oil, garlic, paprika, garam masala, ginger, turmeric, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake until the chicken reaches 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 minutes.
- While the chicken bakes, warm the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Saute, cooking slowly, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in the raisins and rum, and use a wooden spoon to loosen any onion bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, leaving just the rum scented flavor, about 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. When the chicken reaches 150 degrees F, spoon the onion-raisin mixture over the chicken. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, then return chicken to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, uncovered. The chicken will be fully cooked when it reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or cold.

No mention given of oven temperature to use. Very sloppily done!
Economic great dish for my big house hold only $15 , 6 people ate. Pair this nice chicken with uncle ben rice and salad on the side . family enjoy it plus did not cost much for all ingredients under $15 .
Gonna try it without the rum
We were all disappointed.
Lots of spices that may or may not be used again so that’s the only down side to this Delicious recipe. She stated it would be aromatic and tasty she was so right. I’m glad to that it’s not advertised as a quick recipes the cook times were pretty accurate. Worth the try and a repeat.
I have the chicken marinating now as I type this lol. I made my own garam masala used fresh ginger the I tasted the mix before I added the chicken it is delicious!! Can’t wait for dinner tonight I will post my thougth’s afterwards!!
Yummy Drummies!! Is this a Creole/Carribean Dish? Seems to be the perfect mix of Sweet/Spicy/Savory
Absolutely love this recipe! I keep coming back to get it over and over again!
its yummy
I cooked it today. I should have taken the skin off . The sauce was great. especially with the raisins. I used white wine as I did not have rum . It was very good. I had to check the temperature which is important. I am a rookie cook.
