Notes
- You don’t have to lolliipop the drumsticks. You can roast as is. I do this because I believe it makes the drumstick more tender and it looks better.
- Use any fresh herbs you have if not use dried herbs
- I always line my baking trays when ever I roast or bake anything. I makes cleaning the tray so much easier.
