#4 Lemon and garlic chicken drumsticks

Are you ready for some juicy chicken? Even while writing this recipe for you we get hungry, it is just yum! Here is an additional tip: season the drumsticks in salt and pepper at least 30 minutes before cooking, and as early as 3 days before cooking. This trick will help you when preparing any meal including chicken meat – it just works out so well! So it a great tip for your Intermittent Fasting diet plan.

Ingredients:

Kosher salt,
Pepper, freshly cracked,
10-16 skin-on chicken drumsticks,
1 tablespoon of olive oil,
4 tablespoons of butter,
3 garlic cloves finely chopped,
Zest of 1 lemon plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice,
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped.

This one takes a bit more time than the other recipes, but it is totally worth it. So as we already explained, it is great when you season the drumsticks in salt and pepper first, at least for 30 minutes. Then pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels just before cooking.

Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan and add the oil and half the butter. When the butter is foaming, brown the drumsticks on all sides in batches and transfer them to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the drumsticks back to the frying pan, cover with a lid and cook them for 20-25 minutes. Rearrange the drumsticks every 5-10 minutes for even cooking.

Then add the remaining butter, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Take the frying pan off the heat and leave the flavors to infuse for a few minutes. Serve hot.

#5 Salmon and veggies

You all heard of omega-3 healthy fats. Seafood is a number one source of omega-3. Salmon is one of the most favorite choices, but you can use actually any seafood. Just add some of your favorite veggies on the side and you have perfect healthy Intermittent Fasting meal.

Ingredients:

½ kg of salmon or other fish of your choice,
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice,
2 tablespoons of ghee,
4 cloves garlic, finely diced.

First, mix together lemon juice, ghee and garlic. Place salmon in a foil and pour lemon and ghee mixture over it. Wrap salmon in a foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake salmon for around 15 minutes, or until it is cooked enough. If your oven size allows this, you can roast your vegetables alongside salmon on a separate baking sheet. If not, you can simply eat some fresh veggies.
