Ingredients

  • 8 chicken Drumsticks
  • 4 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 16 Bacon slices
  • 2 Tbs. Olive oil + 1 for coating
  • 2 Rosemary Springs
  • 5 Tbs. Marsala wine
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven on 410 degrees Fahrenheit (or depending on your oven)
Take the skin off the chicken drumsticks and make few small slits in the meat so the meat can cook easier.
Season it with salt and pepper, and rub on all the drumsticks bit of olive oil, then roll the bacon slices on. Since drumsticks that I had were quite large, I needed two bacon slices, but if ones that you have are smaller use only one.
In a baking dish add oil, crushed garlic then add wrapped drumsticks and sprinkle with fresh rosemary needles/leaves.
Bake for 15 minutes, then add Marsala wine put the dish back in the oven and bake until cooked through, about 25 more minutes or cooking thermometer showing at least 165F.

When you punch through the thickest part with meat/chicken cooking thermometer and it showing at least 165F, meat is safe and done cooking.
