Chicken Drumsticks

  • 4 oz Chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and bake the chicken drumsticks for 30-40 minutes.
  • Start by mincing the garlic and onions. Mince until they are small pieces so that the aromatics get cooked evenly. Cut the carrots, scallions, and mushrooms as well.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in the noodles and cook for about 3 minutes with the sauce packet or broth. Drain the noodles thoroughly while reserving some broth and use a scale to weigh the noodles. Then remove half of the weight.

  • Mix the noodles in with the veggies and chicken
  • Add the scallions and enjoy your delicious cup noodles!
