Method

Wash the chicken drumsticks thoroughly with water for 3 to 4 times. Pat them dry with paper towel.

Make at least three deep slits in each drum sticks with a sharp knife. This will help the masalas to be absorbed well in to the chicken drumsticks.

Add the lemon juice to the chicken drumsticks, mix thoroughly and let it sit for few minutes.

Dry roast the besan flour in low flame and transfer it to a plate.

Now add the yogurt, besan flour, ginger & garlic paste, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder and salt to the chicken drum sticks and mix thoroughly. The masala should be evenly coated in all the chicken pieces.

Cover and marinate for at least for 3 hours, but marinating overnight gives best results.

Preheat the oven 425° F/220° C for about 10 minutes.

Place aluminium foil on the baking sheets and grease them with oil. Arrange the drumsticks as shown in the photo.

Reduce the oven temperature to 390° F/200° C and the place the chicken drumsticks in the middle rack of the oven. Bake the chicken for about 35 to 40 minutes or until done.

Turn the drumsticks a few times so that they bake evenly on all sides.

If you have some marinade left, you can brush them on the chicken when you flip the drumsticks. This will produce a nice layer of masala over the chicken drumsticks.

Super delicious roasted chicken drumsticks are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them hot with lemon wedges and tomato ketchup.

Suggestions:

I did not remove the skin from the drumsticks, but you can very well get rid of the skin and still follow the same procedure.

Since I did not have a grill, I did roast them in the oven. You can as well broil the chicken for a few minutes on each side to get some browning, and then finish in 390° F/200°c oven until done.
