  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a blender, combine culantro leaves, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Blend until smooth. Coat the chicken drumsticks with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the drumsticks for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
