Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Zest of 2 oranges
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
In a large dish arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer.
Season with salt and pepper and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small glass bowl, make the sauce by whisking together the remaining 1/4 cup oil, mustard, zest, cumin and fennel.
Prepare a grill for medium-heat cooking.
Brush chicken with sauce, arrange on grates over moderate heat and cook, turning it often and brushing it with more of the sauce, until browned and cooked through, 16 to 18 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a platter as done and garnish with cilantro.
