Exotic Pomegranate Chicken

Exotic Pomegranate Chicken
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 (16 fl oz) bottle pomegranate juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil


  1. Mix the cumin, coriander, herbes de Provence, black pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Place the chicken and garlic in a bowl; sprinkle about 2/3 of the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken to a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the pomegranate juice. Seal and refrigerate at least 12 hours. Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  3. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with the remaining spice mixture and salt. Coat with olive oil, then arrange the chicken in a large baking dish in one layer.
  4. Bake the drumsticks until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. While the chicken is baking, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering until reduced by 2/3. Stir often. Pour over chicken before serving.
