If you're looking for a delicious weeknight meal, try these Stuffed Chicken Drumsticks. They're stuffed with a delicious cilantro and spice mixture that includes coriander, turmeric, and cumin!

There really is nothing better than enjoying a nice meal with those you care most about.
Once again, I was not quite sure what to prepare for dinner the other night, until I saw fresh cilantro in the fridge. After some consideration, I concluded that the cilantro would make a refreshing stuffing for the drumsticks I picked up at the store that day. It was a delicious meal that my kids and I thoroughly enjoyed.
For those who are not big fans of cilantro, feel free to substitute it with Italian parsley.

That's so funny, Catherine. I stuffed drumsticks over the weeknd. I made Marion's with cilantro and mine with rosemary. Marion says Rosemary gives you high blood pressure so she won't go near it, lol...
I must say, mine sure didn't look as inviting as yours:) Thanks for sharing, Catherine...
