These mango turmeric chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy way to add some flavor to your weeknight dinners.

The inspiration for these mango turmeric chicken drumsticks came to me during a trip to Thailand. I was walking through a market when I came across a stall selling fresh mangoes. The mangoes were so ripe and juicy, and I couldn't resist buying a few. I brought them back to my hotel room and ate them for breakfast the next morning. As I was eating them, I started to think about how I could use them in a recipe. I had some chicken drumsticks in the fridge, so I decided to try marinating them in a mango puree. I added some turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and coconut aminos to the marinade, and let the chicken marinate for a few hours. I then baked the chicken drumsticks until cooked through and golden brown. The chicken was so delicious, and the mango marinade gave it a sweet and savory flavor. I served the chicken with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. My family loved the chicken, and I've been making it ever since.
