    6. Wash and dry chicken drumsticks with paper napkins. If you use a frozen chicken, it must be obtained from the freezer beforehand so that it thaws. Add the meat to the ready cherry marinade. Mix the ingredients so that the chicken drumsticks are completely covered with the marinade. Leave the meat for at least 30 minutes (you can leave for a night on the shelf of the fridge), so that the chicken soaked in the aroma of spices and became juicy and tender.
