1 Hr. Frozen Chicken Leg Dinner | Nourishing Nuggets
Marinated Chicken Drumsticks Cooked from Frozen
My youngest & I woke up today feeling less than energetic. As dinner time rolled around I realized “I need a quick dinner!” I had nothing but frozen chicken legs to produce a meal with… and 1 hour. A quick search turned up this little delight from Jodi over at KnowGluten.com and voila! A three course dinner in 1 hour (only about 20 minutes of which I was actively preparing it) which included all of the Big 3 (Omega-3’s, Protein & Live Foods).
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 8 drumsticks (or 2 per person)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup bbq sauce (I used a mix of a couple we had on hand –recipes for my favorite paleos are here)
- 2 tsp ground coriander seed (I left this out since I didn’t have any)
- 1/2 T salt
Directions:
- Combine everything in a ziplock bag and massage until chicken is coated.
- If desired, marinate in bag for at least 10 minutes.
- Place drumsticks in an open baking dish
- Cook uncovered at 375 until chicken skin is crispy and meat pulls away from the bone. About 45 mins for fresh and 60 mins for frozen.

I rubbed a potato for each family member in olive oil & pink salt and put them in at the same time as the legs. Both were ready at the same time. We had our protein (chicken legs) so I chopped some spinach & lettuce, grated a carrot (live food) & topped it with flax/chia meal (Omega-3’s), live sauerkraut & homemade ranch dressing (probiotics) and then went to wrap Christmas gifts till my timer rang. There was our Big 3, three course meal, hot & ready to plate! LOVE.
This is a new family favorite. Quick, easy & nourishing! Let me know in the comments if your family loves it as much as mine.
