Cooking Gendis #1: Roasted Chicken Drumstick

I made an easy roasted chicken drumstick with Sasa Bumbu Lumur Ayam Spesial! The trick is to marinate your chicken with double seasonings. So, if you have 1 kg of chicken, use 2 sachets, and if you only have 1/2 kg, then you can use 1 sachet. Of course, it turned out GREAT 'cuz the #MICIN took place HAHA, but I don't mind at all, I'm a part of #GenerasiMicin after all. Anyways, I made it extra by adding some other ingredients, here's the recipe!

RECIPE

1/2 kg of chicken drumstick

1 sachet of Sasa Bumbu Lumur Ayam Spesial

1 tbsp rosemary (dried)

1 tbsp thyme (dried)

1/2 of lemon juice (and slices of lemon)

3 cloves of garlic

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Marinate the chicken overnight with instant bumbu, lemon juice, and herbs.

2. Add crushed garlic and slices of lemon to the marinated chicken.

3. Put on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

Simple, easy, and delicious! I didn't use any oil because the fat from the drumstick will release some oil. You can also add potato and carrot, then drizzle it with some olive oil, too bad I don't have it in the fridge, so I ate it with rice #TypicalIndonesian. This hack is for y'all lazy people out there! If you don't have various herbs at home, this recipe is perfect.

The chicken is tender and juicy, the overall taste is fresh and clean. Once you turn on the oven, the heavenly aroma of rosemary and thyme will burst out to the entire house. Let me know if you wanna try the recipe :D

Love,

Cooking Gendis.

Little Things

The more I live this life, the more I realize...

It's the ongoing Korean drama,

it's the weekend baking agenda,

it's the funny Tiktok videos,

it's the thought of loved ones,

it's the silly WhatsApp stickers,

it's the instant noodle at midnight,

it's the conversations between two neighbors,

it's the wildflowers down the road,

it's the simple little things.

That makes tomorrow possible.

We will be happy, and sad, then happy, and sad again, but...

There's always a tomorrow.

It's always great to have something to look forward to.

What's Your Love Language?

Mine is food.

Big time. Period.

So, when I send you food, even my home-cooked meals or homemade baked goods, that means I'm grateful for having you in my life. I wanna share happiness through food, I wanna ignite your senses through food, and I wanna mail the five love languages through food. Basically, I love you. And girl, oh boy, when you ask me to eat with you or send me your favorite food, I can't thank you enough.

Since the pandemic is still happening, duh, we can't share meals together at a table like we used to and that's kinda depressing. I might be an introvert, but hell yeah, I miss having brunch dates with my besties in a cute cafe, vintage restaurant, or a McDonald's drive-thru. I want them to come over to my house so that Ebo and I can cook them meals and have a talk.

Food is like a gate to someone's life in a very romantic way.

So, what's your love language?
