Crispy Asian Fused Oven Fried Chicken Drumsticks

….. Or as a good friend told me to title it:

” Redemption Drumsticks: A Savory & Sweet Peace Offering for falling off the face of the internet yet again”. 

Love my support system.

So, welp, here I go again (on my own). Not really but yada yada. CHICKEN. how could I not redeem myself with such a classic lil bird. It’s a simple main, that can be quickly thrown together any day of the week, with friends, without them, with family, without them. You get it. So here you are. Scroll all the way down for the recipe. It’s there, I promise you. This is for all of the buttheads in the world that don’t understand how SEO works for a blog and are going to immediately complain about the extra noise in terms of type content.

ANY WHO. Some simple notes. Nothing, it’s that simple. But truly very very easy, pretty healthy, can serve with an arugula salad or maybe with a biscuit. I did mine with a little rice. I mean really, you can do this with anything.

OH RED CURRY PASTE is pretty key for this recipe. The flavor profile for the paste really takes it up a notch and gives you that subtle twist of not your average drumstick.

welllllllllllp that’s all i got for today folks. enjoy.
