It’s great to see you here today!
It’s amazing how one week can seem to fly while others languish on and just can’t seem to get themselves across the finish line. Last week was one of those weeks. It moved in slow motion.
There were errands that didn’t want to come off the to do list. There was an unexpected trip to the pediatrician and days home from school. And, so many practices and sports commitments that I actually forgot to take the youngest to one of his.
Please don’t tell him.
Speaking of the littlest. Here is is in this very grainy photo I took over the weekend. I’ll blame the lighting and not my camera skills. He sure does try hard and as you can probably make out he’s the shortest on his team. Actually, he’s the smallest on the court for every single game, either team. It doesn’t seem to bother him though.
Well, let’s get back to the spice rubbed drumsticks in all of their glory. This is a five ingredient recipe. No really, it is.
You can add in a few sprigs of fresh thyme to garnish your plate, but you really don’t have to.
The recipe is below for the spice mixture, but you’ll need to visit my friend, Cecile over at My Yellow Farmhouse for the Armenian Rice recipe. Please do, it was really delicious and a nice accompaniment to the chicken. You’ll love the collection of recipes that she shares regularly.
Lastly, I’ve added all of the Mondays on Main St. recipes right here on their very own page. I’m feeling very organized and proud of myself for gathering them onto one easy to find location of my little blog.
Go take a peek there if you have time.
Spice Rubbed Drumsticks
Recipe
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
1 3/4 lb chicken drumsticks, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
fresh thyme for garnish, optional
Method
Preheat oven to 425°.
Mix the spices in a small bowl using a small whisk or the tines of a fork. Pat the spice rub all of the over the prepared drumsticks and place them onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray.
Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning once until juices run clear and/or a meat thermometer registers 165°. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve alongside Armenian Rice.
Serves: 4
My twin sons were always the shortest guys – on whatever team they happened to be playing. Luckily – being short didn’t affect their hockey playing at all. In fact, one of them still plays. (His French Canadian father would’ve been be so proud!!) And – I’m sooooo happy to see you not only did ‘one hell of a job’ cooking up that Armenian Rice Pilaf – but you were also kind enough to recommend my blog!! Thanks you much. We ‘blog’ because we wish to share recipes with others & that sometimes includes recipes from fellow blogging friends.(I’m long overdue for a post featuring some of my favorite blogs such as “Main Street Cuisine”!)
Forgot to mention that I’m ‘pinning’ this great chicken recipe, as I always do! ; o )
Really nice spice blend- aromatic and earthy and bold!
I can see you’re a busy bee, as are your kids (and your photos are always great!).
Thanks for sharing recipe. Will try for sure. I love ant roasted chicken recipe with a big salad for dinner!
my my! those chicken drumsticks look so delicious! So nicely roaste! love that it is a 5 ingredient dish. Easy enough to put together on a lazy Monday!
I have yet to read a recipe on your blog that I haven’t wanted to try. These look great! Beautifully photographed.
What a marvelous compliment, Barbara. Thank you! My children ate these up, which is a nice change of pace from some of their usual comments. Oh well…they’ll miss my cooking when they leave for college, right?
Have a wonderful evening!

Perfectly seasoned drumsticks! You sweet little one will surpass those bigger kids on his own time and probably you too 😉
I just bet you’re right! I always laugh when he asks if he’ll be taller than me…I’m barely 5’3″ so that will be absolutely no trouble. 😉
Enjoy your day!!
