Clean and wash the chicken drumsticks with salt and turmeric. Rinse thoroughly.

Make slits all over the chicken drumsticks, so that the flavor can be incorporated well.

Add the pesto, salt and pepper, mix well until the chicken are coated well.

Cover and allow to marinate 6 hours to overnight. In case of making it quick, marinate at least for 30-60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 F and line the baking tray with aluminum foil.

Place the marinated chicken in the baking tray and bake for 30 – 40 mins and flip at halfway through.

Serve with some green chutney or sautéed veggies!
