When our daughter is going through a flare, foods that are easy on the stomach are a must. We usually fine-tune her diet to allow only the purest, simplest foods to eat without any added ingredients.
As IBD sufferers know, nutrition is important during a flare. So, protein is critical as it provides essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to help the body recover. Lauren is not a big meat eater, so finding a meat dish for her to eat is a challenge. She does love chicken - sometimes. For her to eat it, it has to be flavorful, juicy, and tender - but isn't that what we all want in our protein?
These drumsticks are easy to make and essentially no-fail. I try to buy organic when I can, because we do notice a difference in taste and flavor.
Ingredients:
1 package of drumsticks (I think they usually come in packs of 6 or 12; it doesn't matter how many you get for this recipe)
Olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 370F. Rinse and pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels.
Put the drumsticks on a baking rack over an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet.
Brush olive oil over both sides of the drumsticks. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
Bake for 40 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
