juice in a bowl. Stir.
4. Put the drumsticks onto a baking dish and pour the basil, lemon etc mixture over it making sure that the basil and garlic is evenly spread over and around the chicken. I then like to also but some of the basil mix under the skin to infuse the chicken.
5. Lightly sprinkle or grind salt over the drumsticks
