Marinated Chicken Drumsticks & Wings

Available from the PRIME Butcher Counter at Arkadia Foodstore Gozo

The chicken drumstick is part of the lower chicken leg and is an excellent source of protein. The chicken wing is exactly what its name indicates it is, part of the bird’s wings. It’s very easy to cook and serves as the perfect appetizer to watching an exciting football match on television or simply catching up with some friends over drinks (Remember, if you will be drinking, drink responsibly).

Check out these delicious side dish recipes to complement your marinated chicken wings and drumsticks. This versatile dish can be paired with a number of side dishes but we picked our favourite two.
