Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons ground cumin; 3 tablespoons ground coriander; 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence; 1 tablespoon ground black pepper; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 12 chicken drumsticks; 1 (16 fl oz) bottle pomegranate juice; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 2 tablespoons olive oil

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 chicken drumsticks
1 (16 fl oz) bottle pomegranate juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

1
Mix the cumin, coriander, herbes de Provence, black pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Place the chicken and garlic in a bowl; sprinkle about 2/3 of the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken to a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the pomegranate juice. Seal and refrigerate at least 12 hours. Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with the remaining spice mixture and salt. Coat with olive oil, then arrange the chicken in a large baking dish in one layer.
4
Bake the drumsticks until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
While the chicken is baking, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering until reduced by 2/3. Stir often. Pour over chicken before serving.
