The Recipe Girl Cookbook
This recipe comes from my cookbook! I wrote the book for people who might be looking for something different to make- focusing on easy and family-friendly, and I also wrote it for home cooks who might like to entertain a bit (even if they’re terrified to do so). I wrote it with all of my readers in mind. These Sweet Lemon Glazed Drumsticks are an example of a family-friendly recipe that’s included in my book. I need my family to enjoy the food that I make in my kitchen, so that’s what I thought of when I was developing recipes for the book. These drumsticks are delicious, but they’re also kid-friendly… the little ones enjoy picking things up with their fingers and eating them. They’re equally appealing for both adults and kids. And my boy wants you to know that they’re “RecipeBoy approved!”
Sweet Lemon Glazed Drumsticks marinade:
The marinade is simple- nothing fancy. Just a little bit of sweet combined with all of the other flavorful ingredients pictured here.
The recipe is enough for 12 drumsticks, but you can certainly cut the recipe in half and make just 6 as I am showing y0u here.
The chicken soaks up the flavors while marinating in the fridge. If you don’t like fresh oregano, you can use fresh thyme. And if you’re not into using fresh herbs, it’s okay to sprinkle in dried herbs instead.
My family loves these Sweet Lemon Glazed Drumsticks. They’re so simple to prepare, and drumsticks are usually a pretty inexpensive part of the chicken. Cheap and simple works for just about everyone, right? Enjoy!
Here are a few fun facts about The Recipe Girl Cookbook:
There are 195 recipes in the book (about 150 are brand new, and the rest are website favorites). There are recipes for all meals of the day- breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner, side dishes and dessert. A “Change it Up” tip is included for each recipe- showing you how to change the recipe a little bit to make it something new. I include icons that show if a recipe is gluten-free, dairy free, vegetarian (or adaptable). 116 of the recipes in the book happen to be just naturally gluten-free (or easily adaptable- with tips on how to adapt). There are 20-themed menus for entertaining (4th of July party, tailgate party, summer barbecue, simple anytime brunch, etc). I focused on sharing simple, low-stress menus that anyone can handle.
