It’s September already. I’m so happy to know that the hibernating season is over for us in this part of the world. I just can’t wait for the longer days to arrive and head outdoors again. I can smell summer in the air right now.
Well, if you are like me, looking for fast and easy recipes for your family despite the weather, these spicy chicken drumsticks are just the right one for you. For me, they were love at first sight. Spices and herbs ground to a coarse paste make them irresistibly delicious. And then there’s the red food color. I don’t think it’s an essential ingredient. But that’s what makes the chicken RED. Look at that gorgeous color!
