Ingredients
  

  • 1.8 kg mix of drumsticks and wings
  • 1/2 cup flour (I use spelt flour or unbleached plain flour)
  • 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • Lots of cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 180 C.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric, curry powder, mustard powder and oregano.
  • Place butter in either one large baking pan or two medium sized baking pans. Place the pans in the oven to melt butter.
  • Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour mixture, putting 2-3 legs at a time into the bowl and making sure each piece is well coated before transferring to the prepared baking pans with the melted butter.
  • Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil.
  • Bake the chicken uncovered in oven for 45 minutes - 60 minutes. Turn the chicken after 30 minutes and cook until tender and golden brown.

Notes

Serve with oven-baked potato/sweet potato fries, steamed green beans and large garden salad
