Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks
• 2 cups of beer
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the beer, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
4. Remove the chicken drumsticks from the marinade and place them in a baking dish. Discard the marinade.
5. Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown. Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender and moist.
7. Serve the beer cooked chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
