I found some chicken drumsticks in the freezer and immediately thought of this recipe and I'm glad I did, because it was beautifully juicy and tender and full of flavour. Thank you again Nigella!!!

ReplyDeleteI did these with milk and a squeeze of lemon instead of the buttermilk and they came out lovely. Thanks!! xx
