Crispy Chicken Drumsticks Recipe - Teaching Kids to Cook
One of my goals for this year, was to help my kids be more independent and not rely on me to do everything for them. We started out working on laundry - they are now each in charge of washing, drying, folding and putting away their own clothes. Can I just say what a relief this is for me? I do my husbands and my clothes and towels/sheets - that's it! It's taken a huge burden off my shoulders. Plus they are prepared for real life. When they go off to college, no one's going to be doing their laundry for them.
Or cooking for them! So this summer, I decided we would spend time learning to cook. Each of my kids are already fairly competent in the kitchen. They will make cookies or muffins on a whim. But it's time for them to learn more. Each of my kids are in charge of dinner one night a week. They get to choose what they want to make and they make it all themselves.
So far we've shared Chicken Sandwiches and Cheesy Sausage and Pasta.
This time it was my 10-year-old's turn and she loves drumsticks, so that's what she made.
Chicken drumsticks pair perfectly with baked potatoes since they take about the same amount of time to cook. Or if you want to make the meal extra special try twice baked potatoes.
