• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon

This marinade will create beautiful caramelization on the plancha thanks to the honey.
Cooking
2. Let the flavors infuse
Place the drumsticks in the marinade and mix well.
Let rest for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
3. Perfect plancha cooking
Preheat your plancha to medium-high heat.
Place the drumsticks on it and brown them on all sides.
Lower the heat slightly, cover with a lid or cooking dome.
Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, turning regularly to prevent the honey from burning.
👉 The plancha ensures even cooking while keeping the meat juicy inside.
Tip
Use the remaining marinade mixed with Greek yogurt to make a quick, fresh, lightly spiced sauce.
Perfect with plancha-roasted potatoes or a crunchy salad.
